The logo is a stylization of the presidential sash used by President Manuel Ávila Camacho during his six-year term 1940–1946; and takes its name from the homonymous avenue with which the underground section of line 1 crosses.

The station provides service to the San Miguel de Mezquitán, La Normal and Observatorio neighborhoods. Additionally, it is a strategic connection point in the city since it links with various bus routes in the city, which serve the municipalities of Zapopan and Guadalajara.

During the construction of line 3, it was intended that the elevated interchange station with line 1 be named Federalismo station,[1] but during the final construction it was renamed Ávila Camacho station; therefore, both stations operate as one, the same as Juárez.
