The station is located in the Anacostia neighborhood of Southeast Washington, with entrances at Shannon Place and Howard Road, and near the intersection of Howard Road and Anacostia Freeway.
Anacostia was the southern terminus for ten years before the opening of the southern lines, and many people still depart here to ride on bus lines that serve the southeast neighborhoods better than the newer stations. Service began on December 28, 1991.
