The station was opened on 5 May 1931 with the extension of Line 8 from Richelieu – Drouot to Porte de Charenton.
The Line 9 platforms were opened on 10 December 1933 with the extension of the line from Richelieu – Drouot to Porte de Montreuil.

Until 1998 the station was called Rue Montmartre.
It was renamed to reflect the programme of the former Mayor of Paris, Jean Tiberi, to upgrade the main Boulevards of Paris and because the old name suggested that the station was in the Montmartre district, misleading tourists.
