History

Opened on 12 October 1946 by Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana, the station had two official names: General Sampaio and Comandante Sampaio, both in tribute to General Antônio de Sampaio, hero of the Paraguayan War and patron of the infantry of the Brazilian Army, being the 2nd second name who prevailed.^[1]

The original station was built where the current Viaduct Presidente Tancredo Neves is located, in 1986. In 1971, Ferrovia Paulista S/A (FEPASA) absorbed EFS, and remodeled the West Line,^[2] and Comandante Sampaio station was rebuilt on 25 January 1979.^[1] Besides FEPASA had expropriated an area in front of the main access of the station for the construction of a bus terminal, the work wasn't executed and the area became a car park.^[3]

In 1996, CPTM assumed the operation of the station and the line.^[4]
