The station receives its name because it is located near the establishment of the council of Bogotá, it is also next to the Plaza de la Democracia, located east of the station to which it is located in the depression that passes along 26th Street below the Avenue of the Americas. Before 2010, 26th Street passed through a bridge that was demolished to make way for the plaza and the depressed.

In this area of public space is located the monument Ala Solar of the Venezuelan Alejandro Otero.

From September 2018, it was renamed the Concejo de Bogotá.
