Davis Station is located at the intersection of Holland Street, Elm Street, and College Avenue (Davis Square), in Somerville, Massachusetts. It opened on December 8, 1984. Davis T Station is named after the Davis family of Massachusetts, a political dynasty whose members, over 220 years, have held at least 20 federal and state elected offices throughout New England. Its facilities include:

• a station on the MBTA's Red Line
• a bus terminal for local routes, with a dedicated busway
• bicycle parking
• connections to the Somerville Community Path and the Cambridge Linear Park
• public art, including tiles made by local school children during station construction and an installation of life-size sculptures. [1] In 2009, a group of local artists attempted to find as many of the tile-makers as possible. The schoolchildren are now 35 to 45 years old.[2]
