Marcinkowskiego street was registered in an early 1850s map of Bromberg, under the name of Fischer straße.
A couple of buildings in the street dates back to this time.

In 1884, the city built an original trapezoid-shaped lock on the Brda river, near the 1774 wooden city lock.
The pathway, initially known as Fischer straße, changed to Marcinkowskiego when Poland re-recovered its existence.

Years of occupation of Bydgoszcz during the Second World War the street's name back to Fischer straße, but in 1945 the street re-took its current name, Marcinkowskiego'.
The latter refers to Karol Marcinkowski  (1800-1846), a Polish physician, social activist in the Grand Duchy of Posen, supporter of basic education (Praca organiczna) programmes, organizer of the Towarzystwo Naukowej Pomocy dla Młodzieży Wielkiego Księstwa Poznańskiego (transl.
 Scientific Association for Youth in the Grand Duchy of Poznań) and the Bazar Poznański (transl.
 the Poznań mall).

Until 1945, the street was divided into two segments: 
to the north, the original 'Fischerstraße;
to the south, the path running  along the river, called An der stadtschleuse in German (At the city lock) or Nad Portem in Polish (along the port).

Both bits have been united under the same calling Marcinkowskiego after the end of Second World War.
