A roadside inn named Gule Hest (Yellow Horse) was in the 18th century located at the site.

Gule Hest was in 1778 purchased by Peter Borre, renamed Haabet (The Hope) and used as a tobacco factory.

[3] Three new streets in the area were given the names Kingosgade, Boyesgade and Brorsonsgade after the priest-and-hymn writers Thomas Kingo, Casper Johannes Boye (1791-1853) and Hans Adolph Brorson.

The northern end of the street is located approximately 250 metres to the east of Frederiksberg Allé metro station.

The southern end of the street is located approximately 500 metres to the north of Enghave Plads metro station.
