The boulevard is named after François Richard-Lenoir (1765-1839) and Joseph Lenoir-Dufresne (1768-1806), business-partner industrialists who brought the cotton industry to Paris and northern France in the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is the site of a weekly art market and of a bi-weekly fruit and vegetable market that is one of the largest in Paris.
