The station was inaugurated with the name "Estação do Campo" because the station area was within the limits of Campo de Santana. The Church of Nossa Senhora de Santana was demolished in order for it to be built, but the wooden image of the saint from Portugal can still be found in a chapel in the Central station. Shortly thereafter it became known as the “Court Station”, in reference to the Imperial Court. Then it was named “Dom Pedro II Station”, an homage to the Emperor. With the rise of the Republic, the new government wanted to uncouple the name of the former monarch's railway. It was then that the old Dom Pedro II Railway was renamed “Central do Brasil Railway” and with that the station was immediately called “Estação Central do Brasil”. A participant in events that made history, the first train of the railway left Central do Brasil on March 29, 1858 at 10 am, when the locomotive “Brazil” took the Emperor to Pouso dos Queimados (now Queimados). Interesting Fact: the station has the largest four-sided clock in the world, 110 meters high.
