Opened in 1839 as "Boldon Flatts" by the Brandling Junction Railway, later to become part of the North Eastern Railway, on the line from Newcastle to Sunderland. The name was changed to "Boldon", then "Cleadon Lane" before settling on "East Boldon" in 1898. The station was rebuilt and transferred to Metro operation in 2002.
