| Origin of name | Probably James Lawrence |
The original name of 35th Street was Lawrence Street.[1][2] It was probably named for James Lawrence (1781–1813), for whom Lawrenceville had been named earlier.[3][4][5][6]
In 1868, Pittsburgh's modern sequence of numbered streets was created by renaming all the streets perpendicular to the Allegheny River; Lawrence Street became 35th Street.[1][2]
