Originally, it was simply an extension of the old Chaussée de Vleurgat/Vleurgatse Steenweg from the place called La Bascule to Waterloo.

In 1711, under the Austrian rule, it was decided to divert the new road at La Bascule and to extend it to the Halle Gate in Saint-Gilles.

The first section, connecting the Halle Gate to the Barrière de Saint-Gilles/Bareel van Sint-Gillis (literally "Barrier of Saint Gilles", named after the tollgate that stood there), follows the slight curves of the old Wegh naer Ukkel (Middle Dutch for "Way towards Uccle").

[1] Since the end of the 19th century, the Chaussée de Waterloo has been one of the main commercial arteries to and from Brussels and has therefore played a crucial role in the development of the districts it crosses.

[1] Until the beginning of the 20th century, the Chaussée de Waterloo included a bridge (Hoge Brugge), at the level of Ma Campagne in Saint-Gilles, which spanned a sunken road leading to Saint-Job (today's Avenue Brugmann/Brugmannlaan).

The creation of the link between Brussels-South railway station and Uccle, first by horse-drawn tramway (1871–1879) then, from 1896, by an electric tram line, undoubtedly contributed to this development.

964, straddling Brussels and Uccle and at the current location of the service station, there was, at the beginning of the 20th century, the café-restaurant-boarding house Le Vert Chasseur, to be related to the development of the Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos.
