Libertad station was constructed as part of the original alignment of LRT-1, beginning in September 1981, after an economic recession delayed the project’s initial timeline. It formed part of the line's first constructed segment along Taft Avenue between EDSA and Libertad in Pasay. It was opened to the public on December 1, 1984, as part of LRT’s initial southern section, known as the Taft Line, which was the first segment to become operational.

There are bus terminals for some bus lines near the station, while jeepneys, taxis, and tricycles stop at and around the station entrance. The buses also stop near the station, for those riding buses that do not stop at the nearby bus terminals. Jeepneys that leave adjacent to the station head along Arnaiz Avenue for various parts of Caloocan, Makati, Manila, and Pasay.

The station is adjacent to retail establishments especially the Pasay City Mall and Public Market and Wellcome Plaza (also known as Masagana Citimall, which houses a Puregold branch).

On June 21, 2011, at 8:00 AM, a train suffered a short-circuit in one of its electrical components at Libertad station. On the same day, at 2:23 PM, a power cable was hit by lightning, disrupting the line's operations for three hours.
On July 21, 2018, at around 6:00 AM, a contact wire sparked near Libertad station. A provisional service between Roosevelt and United Nations stations were implemented. Normal operations resumed at 2:59 PM after the cable was fixed.
On February 17, 2023, operations were limited between Roosevelt and Gil Puyat due to electrical problems at Libertad station.
