The wider area only began to develop significantly towards the end of the 19th century with the arrival of the railroad in the north region of the city. For a substantial period there was a circular railway in north Penha which allowed trains arriving from Barão de Mauá to make their return. This railway line was deactivated in the 1940s and in its place Penha Circular train station was built which, in turn, gave name to the neighborhood itself. | penha | |||
