The street was laid out in 1913 on the site of the former Villa Joseph Tasson (built around 1880 according to plans by Jean Baes and demolished in 1910). The first houses were the work of Léon Govaerts^[3] and were completed in 1915, after which construction continued until the 1930s.

A 1920 regulation on co-ownership banned commercial activities on the street and the division of houses into apartments. Due to exceptions granted over the years, the 27 houses still contained 61 units in 2008.^[2]

Fences were installed around 1993 so that access to the square could be closed off. The fences' gates have been closed since about 2000 to keep the curious at bay.
