It was constructed coincidental with the construction of Conduit Boulevard.[3] The school was originally named East New York Continuation High School in 1915, but was renamed to East New York Workers High School of Brooklyn in 1922. In 1941, it was renamed to East New York Vocational High School. Finally, in 1986 it was renamed to Transit Tech High School.
