History
Contract 102 was awarded to Nishimastu Construction for the station's construction. Jordan station opened on 16 December 1979 as part of the second phase of the Kwun Tong line that extended the Template:Lnl from Template:STN to Template:STN. When the Template:Lnl opened on 17 May 1982, the Kwun Tong line was shortened and terminated at Template:STN, the first stop north of Jordan, and Jordan was transferred to the Tsuen Wan line. In 2000, along with five other stations on the Tsuen Wan line, Jordan became one of the first stations in the MTR network to be retrofitted with platform screen doors which aid in ventilation, crowd control and passenger safety.<ref name="psd">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
