The station opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud Company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. On 27 March 1931, line A became line 12 when It was taken over by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), incorporating it into the Paris Métro.
On 24 February 2011, a cultural panel in memory of the poet and resistance fighter René Char (1907-1988) was placed on the platform towards Mairie d'Issy. The station was chosen for the installation of the panel as a nearby public square, Place René-Char, was already named after him on the centenary of his birth in 2007.[1]
