The BART Board approved the name "Orinda" in December 1965.[4] Service at the station began on May 21, 1973, following the completion of the Berkeley Hills Tunnel, which connects it to Rockridge station.[5]
In 2008, BART added solar panels over parking areas at Orinda station, as well as the Richmond and Hayward maintenance yards. The $3.8 million project was expected to provide all station electrical needs during daylight hours.[6]
Thirteen BART stations, including Orinda, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. Orinda was the last station to be modified; the new faregate in the lobby was installed in July 2023.[7]
