Jalan Pintu Besar Utara dahulu bernama Nieuwpoortstraat, setelah kemerdekaan berubah nama menjadi Jalan Pintu Besar Utara. Jalan ini pernah menjadi jalur Trem Batavia yang melintas dari selatan menuju utara Jakarta dan sebaliknya. Berdasarkan foto-foto sebelum menjadi pedestrian, Jalan Pintu Besar Utara merupakan Jalan Raya Besar yang terhubung dengan Jalan Pintu Besar Selatan. Pada tahun 2006 dilakukan oleh Dinas Pekerjaan Umum terkait Pembangunan dan Peningkatan Trotoar / Pedestrian. Selanjutnya lalu lintas utama dialihkan dari Jalan Pintu Besar Utara ke Jalan Bank.

Jalan Pintu Besar Utara was formerly known as Nieuwpoortstraat, and after Indonesia’s independence its name was changed to Jalan Pintu Besar Utara. The street once served as a route for the Batavia tram, which operated from the south to the north of Jakarta and vice versa. Historical photographs show that, prior to its conversion into a pedestrian walkway, Jalan Pintu Besar Utara was a major thoroughfare connected to Jalan Pintu Besar Selatan. In 2006, the Public Works Agency carried out the development and improvement of sidewalks/pedestrian facilities.
