The District Line first opened in 1868 as the Metropolitan District Railway and ran between Westminster and South Kensington. The line reached Hammersmith in 1874, opening up a new artery into central London from the growing suburbs in the west of the city.  The line extended further still to Richmond in 1877 and Ealing Broadway in 1879.  Today, the line serves sixty stations over some fourty route miles.  In 2000, the District Line carried 211.4 million passengers, making it the most used London Underground route.  Victoria is the busiest station on both the line, and indeed the entire network, with an annual passenger count of 42 million people.
