The Boulevard du Jardin botanique (French) or Kruidtuinlaan (Dutch), meaning "Botanical Garden Boulevard", is a boulevard located in the municipality of Saint-Josse-ten-Noode in the Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium. It runs from the Boulevard Émile Jacqmain/Émile Jacqmainlaan to the Rue Royale/Koningsstraat, as part of the northern section of the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road).




History


The Boulevard du Jardin botanique was one of the earliest boulevards in the City of Brussels, completed from 1818 to 1820. It was first called the Boulevard de Schaerbeek in tribute to the Schaerbeek Gate through which it passed in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode. The Schaerbeek Gate was situated at the top of the boulevard. The name of the boulevard was later changed to honor the Botanical Garden of Brussels in the mid-1800s.
On 13 March 1842, the Boulevard du Jardin botanique had a population of 194 people.
