| Origin of name | Sequential numbering from Chartiers Creek |
This street was laid out as Emerson Street in a plan of lots by Emma M. Bell, recorded in 1884.[1] In 1893, the streets in Esplen were numbered, and Emerson Street became Fourth 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 Fourth Street became Florien Street.[5]
The formerly numbered streets in Esplen form one of Pittsburgh's F–S–T sequences.
