Heinz Street
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Heinz Street | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhoods | East Allegheny, Troy Hill |
| Origin of name | H. J. Heinz Company |
| Sycamore Street (until 1910) | |
| Senlich Street (1910–1911) | |
This street was originally named Sycamore Street.[1][2][3][4]
In 1910, over 900 streets were renamed to eliminate duplicates, and Sycamore Street was renamed Senlich Street.[5] The next year it was renamed again to Heinz Street[6] for the H. J. Heinz Company, whose food-processing complex was here. The site is now mostly residential; several of the manufacturing buildings became the Heinz Lofts.[7]
Bob Regan includes "Heinz" in a list of streets named for noted historical people,[8] presumably meaning H. J. Heinz.
