It is named in memory of Esteban Terradas i Illa (1883-1950), a Spanish mathematician and professor at the Universities of Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid.
On 1918, Terrades was chosen to drive the Xarxa de Ferrocarrils Secundaris de Catalunya (Secondary Net of Catalan Railways), intended to decentralize Catalonia, but was never completed due to the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera being established on 13 September 1923.
