Imaginé par Charles Alphand et orchestré par Jean-Camille Formigé, l'aménagement du square date de 1880. L'ouverture fut retardée par des glissements de terrains dus à la présence de carrières de gypse. Il porte le nom de Louise Michel, dite la Vierge Rouge, figure de la Commune de Paris.

On y trouve pommiers et poiriers à fleurs, érables, ptérocaryas, frênes, noyers, cédrèles, ormes, micocouliers, arbres de Judée, robiniers, sorbiers, sovonniers, hêtres...
