History
The name of the station was formally announced by KCR Corporation in 2000.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Heng On station opened along with the rest of the Ma On Shan line on 21 December 2004.
The platform was doubled in length in 2014 as part of the Sha Tin to Central Link, which will extend the Ma On Shan line trains from four cars to eight cars.
On 14 February 2020, the Template:Lnl was extended south to a new terminus in Template:STN, as part of the first phase of the Shatin to Central Link Project. The Ma On Shan Line was renamed Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 at the time. Heng On station became an intermediate station on this temporary new line.
On 27 June 2021, the Tuen Ma line Phase 1 officially merged with the Template:Lnl in East Kowloon to form the new Template:Lnl, as part of the Shatin to Central link project. Hence, Heng On was included in the project and is now an intermediate station on the Tuen Ma line, Hong Kong's longest railway line.
