[1] The initial network opened on 19 July 2004, a few weeks prior to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, and was the first since the closure of the original system in October 1960, and the Piraeus-Perama light railway in April 1977.
[2][3] The initial network consisted of three branches, each of them reaching Syntagma to the north, Kolymvitirio to the south, and Stadio Irinis & Filias (SEF) to the west.
[9] The tram stop is named after the nearby town hall of the Piraeus Municipality, and is located between the two halves of Korai Square.
[8] The branch was cut back to Kassomouli from 19 October 2018 to 20 November 2020, due to concerns over subsidence in the underground riverbed of the Ilisos.
The stop is located on the northeastern side of the road junction with Kallirois Avenue and Irakleous Street.
