History
Line: Japeri
The village of Iguassu, on the banks of the river that shares its name, has existed since 1800 and was very close to where the ruins of São Bernardino Ranch are today, in the Tinguá region.
This village grew, became a district and then a municipality. Shortly thereafter, on lands belonging to Iguassu, an hamlet called Maxambomba sprang up, which grew a lot with the arrival of the D. Pedro II Railway in 1858. The village of Iguassu, however, was thriving because of its privileged location, next to one of the stretches of the of the Caminho Novo (important transportation road) towards Minas Gerais, and near the Iguaçu River, that was navigable at that time. Via this road travellers reached the Guanabara Bay and the capital of the Empire. What we know today as "Baixada Fluminense" - Duque de Caxias, São João de Meriti, Nilópolis - was the municipality of Iguassu, with its headquarters there in Tinguá. At around the end of the 19th century, a cholera outbreak broke out in Iguassu; many people died and the government decided to change the seat of the municipality to Maxambomba, which ended up becoming Nova Iguassu around 1910. The old city was gradually abandoned and the forest took over. Even today one can encounter debris from the old Iguassu in the Tinguá forests, and it is possible that when the Tinguá line of the Rio de Ouro Railway arrived there little or nothing remained of the old energy (text by Leandro Cesar dos Santos, May 2009) .
The station was one of the train stops whose terminals were São Paulo and Belo Horizonte. The name Maxambomba was changed to Nova Iguassú in 1916 and then to Nova Iguaçu in 1925, after the orthographic reform.
