The Neuveville, meaning "the newest town of the old part of town", thrived with water-intensive tanning and textile-related industries surrounded by a fence in the 13th century soon replaced by a fortified wall in the 14th century.
The Bourguillon and the Maigrauge gates still stand today; however, the gates to the Rue de la Neuveville are long gone.
