Name origin
[edit]The street is named after the Italian composer Gaspare Spontini (1774-1851).[1]
History
[edit]
This street, which once formed part of Rue du Petit-Parc, was created in 1825 when the road running east along the former La Muette pheasantry separated the communes of Passy and Neuilly.
The street is also the western boundary of the plaine de Passy housing estate created in 1825 by the Société des terrains de la plaine de Passy. The western part of this subdivision, which extended eastwards to the boulevard outside the Fermiers généraux enclosure, was not built until after 1850. Single-family homes were replaced by apartment blocks from the late 19th century onwards.[2][3]
Classified as a Paris roadway by a decree of May 23, 1863, it took on its present name by a decree of October 2, 1865.
The section between rue de la Tour and avenue Henri-Martin became part of rue Mignard in 1881.
In 1881, the current Square Lamartine also included the part of rue Spontini between avenues Henri-Martin and Victor-Hugo.
