The station was opened on 27 July 1937 as part of the extension of line 8 from La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle to Balard. The station is named after Aristide Boucicaut, who opened Le Bon Marché, sometimes considered the world's first department store. His second wife assisted Louis Pasteur and founded the Boucicaut Hospital near the station.

gollark: Physicists do not sit around armchairishly going "hmm, what if stuff gets mass because of a 'field'?" and then getting it named after them.
gollark: If you are to actually make bold claims about theoretical physics instead of just paraphrasing random quantum things it would be beneficial to learn the relevant maths so you can understand the models.
