Originally conceived during the urban redevelopment after colonization as the "Rue du Rempart du Sud" to serve as a main artery on the waterfront for harbor access, transportation, and military protection. A first sketch of the road was presented in 1837 and appeared in later planning documents, but the project wasn't commissioned until 1860 as the "Boulevard de l'Imperatrice" and was completed in 1866 according to the plans of Charles Frederic Chasseriau. After the 1870 revolution, it was called Boulevard de la Republique. general view, view north along boulevard, with Mosque of the Fishermen visible in distance, 1993
