History
Line: Guapimirim
According to the Municipality of Magé, the current municipality took this name from the village of Majepemirim, founded in 1565, by Portuguese settlers in the region.
The Barão de Mauá Railway (the first Brazilian railway) was designed by businessman Irineu Evangelista de Souza, later known as the Barão de Mauá. The Guia de Pacobaíba station, which was later named Mauá (in honor of the Baron) was the first train station in Brazil, and was also opened on the same date as the railroad. With an initial length of 14.5 km, the stretch connected Mauá to Fragoso. The Guapimirim line comes from this railway and continues to operate today.
In the place where the Magé station is today, there were actually two stops: one for the Teresópolis Railway line (which connected Rio to Teresópolis) and another for the Leopoldina line (which connected Saracuruna to Visconde de Itaboraí , respectively called Rosário and Porto das Caixas, at the time).
The Magé da E.F. Teresópolis station was opened in 1896 and the line was closed down in 1956. The Magé da Leopoldina station was opened in 1926 and the Leopoldina line still exists, but this stretch is not included in SuperVia’s concession contract.
