Ancienne du XIIIe siècle, cette voie reliait le hameau de Boondael avec celui de Ixelles-le-Vicomte, ce dernier étant concentré autour de l'actuelle place Flagey. Ces deux hamaux étaient situés en-dehors des remparts de Bruxelles, et ce n'est que lors du passage de l'administration française, à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, qu'ils furent réunis pour former le territoire de l'actuelle commune d'Ixelles.
