Åbning af gågaden i Kongensgade 15. december 1984 af Borgmester Verner Dalskov.
Gaden blev anlagt i 1847. Gaden hed i sine første år Tværgade og Ny Vestergade, inden den i 1851 fik sit nuværende navn, som menes at være en hyldest til den på det tidspunkt nyligt afdøde Kong Christian 8.
I 1984 blev det forbudt at køre bil i gaden, og den blev ændret til gågade.
Verner Dalskov (født 1. januar 1932, død 31. august 2017) var fra 1973-1993 borgmester i Odense Kommune.
