Name and pictogram
Colegio Militar means Military College and the station was named in reference to the Heroic Military College that existed in the vicinity of the Popotla neighborhood from 1920, when it was inaugurated by President Venustiano Carranza, until 1976, when it was moved to its current location in the south of Mexico City.[1]
The station's pictogram shows the stylised coat of arms of the Military Academy.[1] [2]
General information
The station opened on 14 September 1970 as part of the second stretch of Line 2, from Pino Suárez to Tacuba.[4]
Colegio Militar serves the Colonia Anáhuac and Colonia Un Hogar para Nosotros neighborhood. The same facilities where the Military Academy once stood now house the Universidad del Ejército y Fuerza Aérea Mexicanos (Mexican Army and Air Force University).
From 2017 the station's walls have been covered with pictures depicting and honoring the Mexican Army and Air Force during their duty.[5]
