The station opened as part of the original section of the line from Châtelet to Porte des Lilas on 28 April 1935.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station was renovated and modernised on 5 August 2008.[1]
On 1 April 2016, half of the nameplates on the station's platforms were temporarily replaced by the RATP as part of April Fool's Day, along with 12 other stations. It was humorously renamed "Alpes", to promote the other main mountain range in France, the Alps.[2][3][4]
As part of modernization works for the extension of the line to Rosny–Bois-Perrier in 2023 for the Grand Paris Express, two new additional entrances will be added along both sides of avenue Simon Bolivar with a new ticketing hall and new stairs built to link it and the middle of both platforms. An escalator will also be added to one of the existing entrance (entrance 2) and another between the platform in the direction of Porte des Lilas and the existing ticketing hall by summer 2022.[5][6]
In 2019, the station was used by 2,920,049 passengers, making it the 182nd busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[7]
In 2020, the station was used by 1,364,625 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 191st busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[8]
