| Origin of name | Pierre Chartier |
This street was originally Chartier Street,[1][2][3] named for Pierre Chartier, an early trader, who is also the eponym of Chartiers Avenue.[4]
In 1910, three years after Allegheny was annexed to Pittsburgh, over 900 streets were renamed to fix duplicates. The name Chartier Street conflicted with Chartiers Avenue, so it was renamed Chateau Street.[5][6] Chateau is simply a modification of Chartier.[7][8][4]
The neighborhood of Chateau was named after Chateau Street when it was separated from Manchester by Route 65.[9]
