The terminal was designed by TAT/SSVK, Architects and dedicated on May 22, 1989. Atlantic City was once served by the old Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines Atlantic City station (née Atlantic City Union Station), which had become Atlantic City Municipal Bus Terminal and was demolished in 1997. Between 1965 and 1981 a single-story, two-track station on the present site served PRSL trains until service ended in 1981.
