History

The station was initially named KM.25 Station as it was located on kilometre 25 of Phahonyothin Road and there were no major landmarks to name the station. However, it was renamed to Yaek Kor Por Aor Station (lit. Kor Por Aor Intersection) to match up with an intersection of a new road built by the MRTA which linked Phahonyothin Road and Lam Lukka Road. "Kor Por Aor" is the Thai abbreviation of the Directorate of Air Operations Control (DOAC) of the Royal Thai Air Force which is located nearby.
