On 28 June 1861, Antonio José de Moraes sold part of Sítio Ribeirão dos Pires to the railway.

On 16 February 1867, with connection São Paulo–Santos to the railway, it inaugurated the temporary traffic, being the current city of Ribeirão Pires a strategical point of stop for water supply of the steam locomotives.

The railway branch has already been projected in 1862 by engineer Daniel Makinson Fox the idealizer of the tilted surfaces of the mountain range.

The idealized track is the same of the existing one connecting Rio Grande da Serra to Mogi das Cruzes, passing through Ribeirão Pires, branch still active of cargo transportation.

Just like Rio Grande da Serra, the station is the same since the beginning of the century.
