History

Christie Station was opened in 1966, as part of the first phase of the Bloor-Danforth line.

The station was damaged in 1976 when a fire was set on board a lightly loaded late-evening train. Nobody was hurt, but the train was destroyed. The station's tiling took some damage and was replaced with a different colour (red instead of green) because green tile was not available for the trim (as shown on the station image).

Nearby landmarks

Nearby landmarks include Korea Town and Christie Pits Park.
