Before the station put into service, it was called "Huangge North Station" (黄阁北站) and "Guangzhou Toyota Auto Town Station" (广州丰田汽车城站) successively.[9] Residents criticized the station name of "Guangzhou Toyota Auto Town Station" for promoting Toyota and its car accessories. So the station name was changed to the current Huangge Auto Town Station later.[10]
