History

The first station at this location was opened on February 16, 1867, under the name 'Brás' by the São Paulo Railway. On November 6, 1875, the Northern Railway opened a terminal station, called the 'Estação do Norte' for their northern rail lines. The name of this station was changed to "Roosevelt" on September 15, 1945, by presidential decree in homage to the American President Franklin Roosevelt, who died that year.
During the 1950s the government took control of the lines operated by the SPR, and creating the National Rail Company RFFSA. During the 1980s, with the construction of the East-West Line the train station was integrated with the newly inaugurated metro station, forming the integrated Brás station. In 1994, the CPTM assumed administration of the suburban rail service and remodeled the station. After the remodeling, the name 'Roosevelt' was officially dropped, and the station began being called Brás, as was called the original SPR station.
