==History==
[[File:Vue en coupe de la station Buttes Chaumont ligne 7bis.jpg|left|thumb|400x400px|Cross section of the tunnels around Buttes Chaumont and its nearby quarries]]
The station opened on 13 February 1912, 13 months after the commissioning of the branch of line 7 from [[Louis Blanc (Paris Métro)|Louis Blanc]] to [[Pré Saint-Gervais (Paris Métro)|Pré Saint-Gervais]] on 18 January 1911 due to the difficulty of its construction in a backfilled quarry. As a result, the station is built with arches over each of the tracks to strengthen the [[station box]]. On 3 December 1967 this branch was separated from line 7, becoming ''line 7bis''.

As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the [[RATP Group|RATP]], the station was renovated and modernised on 6 May 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|title=SYMBIOZ - Le Renouveau du Métro|url=https://www.symbioz.net/index.php?id=42|url-status=live|access-date=2022-02-02|website=www.symbioz.net|language=fr|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014211229/http://www.symbioz.net/index.php?id=42 |archive-date=14 October 2007 }}</ref>
