| Origin of name | Peter Breining (or Breinig) |
A road roughly in the location of modern Breining Street appears in the 1876 Hopkins atlas[1] and possibly in maps of Allegheny County from 1851 and 1862.[2][3]
The name Breining Street was given to the part of the road within Pittsburgh city limits in 1912.[4] It is named for Peter Breining (or Breinig), who lived on the road just beyond the city line at that time.[5][6][7]
