History

Prefeito Saladino stop was implemented on 29 November 1952. With the growing of the region, a new building was built between 1964 and 1966, being opened on 29 March 1966. On this date, the stop was promoted to station. The construction of the new stations encouraged SESI to install a facility in its surroundings in 1972. Decades later, Santo André Prefecture, in partnership with the private initiative, installed the new city bus terminal next to the station, being opened in 2000, with a catwalk above the tracks, predicting a connection with the new station building, projected since 2005. Prefeito Saladino station was transferred from the federal administration (CBTU) to the state administration (CPTM) on 1 June 1994.
