Vargem Railway Station was built in 1884 as part of the São Paulo Railway, being expanded to Vargem in 1913-1914 and becoming the last station of the railway system in the region. With the inauguration of the Fernão Dias Highway in 1959, the railway was gradually deactivated in the 1960s. The station preserves an important testimony to the coffee era and the importance of the railway for regional development.

The station represents the cultural and economic importance that the railroad had for Vargem, connecting the municipality to the state and national transportation network during the 20th century. It symbolizes the narrative of industrial progress and regional development that marked the history of the interior of São Paulo state.

It is located in the center of Vargem, an area that developed along the Paraíba Valley, a region historically rich in coffee farms surrounded by the natural landscapes of the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range.
