History
The square was built in 1829 by architect Edward Cresy and named after Louis-Philippe, who became King of France in 1830. It was created during a period of urban development that transformed Parisian residential areas.

The square served as a gathering place for artists and musicians during the 1800s, who made their homes in the surrounding buildings. These residents shaped the artistic life of Paris during that era.
