Rogier, Place/Rogierplein
- Rogier, Place/Rogierplein
In 1842, the communal council of
Saint-Josse-ten Noode named the square in front of the
Gare du Nord, then under construction, the place des Nations in tribute to the role of the newly arrived
railways in drawing the countries of Europe closer together geographically. At that time the square was not paved. On 8 June 1885, the council unanimously approved renaming the square in honor of
Charles Rogier, the recently deceased statesman who was an active promoter of railway building. Rogier had been a resident of the
commune, maintaining a home at avenue de l'Observatoire 12 (today, avenue Galilée).
