This street runs through the Riverside plan of lots, laid out in 1873 by B. C. Sawyer, though that plan did not put a street here.[1] This street existed by 1893, when the streets in Esplen were numbered; it was named 10th Street.[2][3]
Esplen Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in January 1906.[4] That September, a Pittsburgh city ordinance renamed many streets in the old borough, and 10th Street became Telford Street.[5]
The formerly numbered streets in Esplen form one of Pittsburgh's F–S–T sequences.
