(Details about time periods)

Sutphin Boulevard was a station on the demolished section of the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City subway. It had 2 tracks and 2 side platforms, with space for a 3rd track in the center. This station was built as part of the Dual Contracts[citation needed]. It opened December 12, 1916, and closed on September 10, 1977. The next stop to the north was 160th Street. The next stop to the south was Queens Boulevard. It was closed in anticipation of the Archer Avenue Subway, and due to political pressure in the area.

This station along with the 168th Street and 160th Street stations was demolished in 1979. However on December 11, 1988, MTA opened the Sutphin Boulevard/Archer Avenue/JFK Airport Subway Station, which served as the replacement for the former station.
