Its central part follows the outline of a medieval road, Via Francisca, documented in 1057. Its current name was approved in 1932. Before 1867, it was known as ''Travesera'', with the older spelling and no reference to the neighbourhood, since Gràcia was an independent village. The street's other names include ''Orden'' and ''Solar''. One of the main markets of the city in its heyday was also on this street: Mercat de l'Abaceria Central, which opened in 1892.
In Travessera de Gràcia number 9 are the headquarters of perfume and fashion company Puig.
