History


Toward the end of the 18th century, the land that is today Del Castilho was owned by Dom José Joaquim Castelo Branco, the first bishop of Rio de Janeiro.[5] No one truly knows where the name originated, but the most common theory is that it came from a Spaniard named Henrique de Castile, and that the baptism was performed by Paulo de Frontin, a politician and engineer who would have honored a friend when the train station opened in 1898.[5]
