The station was built in the late nineteenth century in order to host the newly created company Sao Paulo Railway, of British origin, as well as to be in São Paulo stop its railway line, which ran from Santos, in the state's coast in Jundiaí, in the interior. In the first decades of the twentieth century, it was the main gateway to the city of São Paulo. His greatest importance, however, was provided economic infrastructure for the country, passed by the coffee to be exported at the port of Santos, as well as there came consumer goods and capital imports that supplied the city (in an under-industrialized phase). The current station was built between 1895 and 1901, instead of the original Light of 1867. Presumably chosen in an English catalog by local authorities, the metal structure of cast iron that supports it was brought from England, through pre pieces molded and assembled here - Masonry station, however, is locally sourced. Its design is attributed to Henry Driver English engineer and similar to Flinders Street Station, an existing station in Melbourne, Australia.
