Etymology

The station is located under Plaza Chacabuco; that square receives this name because the Liberation Army was established there after the Battle of Chacabuco, on February 13, 1817. In the pictogram that represents the station, one of the horses that exists at the entrance to the Hippodrome Chile appears.
