Located about 150 feet (46 m) into the Western Wall Tunnel, the gate was first described by and later named after nineteenth century British surveyor Charles Warren.

Following the Rashidun Caliphate conquest of Jerusalem from the Byzantines, Jews were allowed to pray inside the tunnel, turning the location into a Jewish synagogue.

An underground dispute broke out in July 1981 between Jewish explorers who were inside Warren's Gate and Arab guards who came down to meet them through surface cistern entries.

[2] A small underground riot commenced, but soon ended when the Jerusalem police appeared at the scene, restoring peace.
