BoxStation (also known as tgstation) was first made public in the year 2011 by "The Old Coders". The preceding map was the Goonstation's Devstation/Ovary Station/Uterus Station, which was supposedly the origin why SS13 is described as a "nonsensical metal deathtrap".
The Beginning
In the beginning, Security was much smaller because of the Prison Wing was located in an off-station satellite (then called Prison Station) just a bit north-west of the Brig. Science Department was located behind Medbay, and "Med-Sci" was the most populated sector of the station. Toxins was set ablaze almost every other round, and the way the map was made meant that the R&D Lab burned down with it. Virology used to be part of the Research Department as well, and Xenobiology held metroids. Robotics was part of the Engineering department at the time.
Changes
Science, Medbay, and the Brig went through the most significant changes throughout development.

Security Department
Especially the Brig, due to the decision to merge Prison Station with the rest of the Brig. We had "Donut Brig" (above) but it was horrible as prisoners were able to circle the warden's office and evade his captors for an absurd length of time. After mappers got fed up with how Security Department occupied such a disproportionate amount of station real estate, they went and implemented a more efficient design, which you'll recognize as the one we currently (summer 2014) use.

Current Situation
Over the years, an admin/coder called Ikarrus more or less took the leading role in BoxStation's development. BoxStation continues to be the most popular map of SS13 across many servers.
Timeline of the Best Moments
2010-??? - tgstation.???.dmm is seen live for the first time on a /tg/station server!
