Original name
The route runs on the border with the former municipality of La Chapelle , which is why the street got this name.
history
The current boulevard runs on the line of the former (urban) customs border ( French mur d'octroi ), which was then (1780) called the wall of the general tenants . The boulevard separates Paris from the outside municipality of La Chapelle.
La Chapelle was an independent municipality until the road was built in 1860, and in the same year it was incorporated into the capital and formed the Quartier de la Chapelle . The street officially bears her name since December 1, 1864. It starts on the Boulevard de Magenta and ends at the corner of Rue du Château-Landon and Rue d'Aubervilliers . Further west, the street is called Boulevard de Rochechouart , the eastern extension is called Boulevard de la Villette . At just 1095 meters, it is one of the shortest boulevards in the north of Paris.
The road was built during the major urban redevelopment under Georges-Eugène Haussmann , when the narrow streets were replaced by wide, splendid avenues. The Boulevard de la Chapelle is 42 meters wide.
From 1900 the viaduct of metro line 2 and the station Boulevard Barbès (today Barbès - Rochechouart ) were built in the middle of the street. The line began service on January 31, 1903.
