Origin of name
It bears the name of the former hamlet of the Goutte d'Or.

Background
This track, from the former commune of La Chapelle, is indicated as a path on the plan of Roussel of 1730. On the cadastral plan of 1814, it is named "path of the Hamlet of the Golden Goutte". The part of the street between Place de la Chapelle and Rue des Couronnes (now Polonceau Street) was renamed rue de Jessaint in 1824.

The vines of the Goutte-d'Or
The name "Goutte-d'Or" already existed in 1474. The origin of this name came either from a place where the vine was cultivated or from the sign of a cabaret with a white wine grown there.

The wine was soon known. It is said that during the reign of Saint Louis, a great drinkery presided over by a scholar philosopher named Rudolf was followed by a classification of wines. The first prize was awarded to the wine of Cyprus, the second to the wine of Malaga and the third was shared between the wines of Malvoisie, Alicante and Goutte d'Or.

A property called "the Goutte-d'Or" existed in 1764, at the corner of rue des Poissonniers and another street which was either rue de la Goutte-d'Or or rue Polonceau.

Golden Goutte Hamlet
The space between the current streets of the Goutte-d'Or, Richomme, Cavé, des Poissonniers and Affre, which descended gently eastward and which five mills ran from 1750 to 1820.

A hamlet formed around 1814, on the southern slope of this hill. His existence was probably an artificial nitrire called "Nitrière des Cinq-Moulins" installed around 1787 in a triangle between Boulevard de la Chapelle, Rue de la Goutte-d'Or and Boulevard Barbès.

The hamlet of the Goutte-d'Or reached to the east another hamlet, the hamlet of Saint-Ange also created around 1815 and which was bounded by the streets of the Charbonnière, of Jessaint and Boulevard de la Chapelle. This hamlet was named after the owner of the Trutat de Saint-Ange. The hamlet then became the Saint-Ange district.

As part of an urban renovation operation, buildings between Rue de la Goutte-d'Or and Rue Polonceau were destroyed in the 1930s. The present place Sheikha-Remitti is then created.

In the 1980s-1990s, the street was the subject of a large operation with the aim of absorbing unhealthy habitat. Despite opposition from some of the neighbourhood's inhabitants and experts, almost all buildings were then destroyed
