Which New York City Subway station was renamed Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center in 2012?

The New York City Subway station renamed Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center in 2012 was Atlantic Avenue.

The station complex had long been known as Atlantic Avenue and was one of the important transfer points in downtown Brooklyn. In 2012, its name was changed to Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center to identify the nearby sports and entertainment arena, which opened that year.

The complex is served by the BMT Fourth Avenue Line, the BMT Brighton Line, and the IRT Eastern Parkway Line. Its multiple platforms connect several subway services and make it one of Brooklyn’s major transit hubs.

The name change did not create a new station; it updated the identity of an existing complex. Pacific Street, which had been part of the complex’s historical naming, was also incorporated into the modern station identity after earlier station-name changes.
