Belgrade Street

From Pittsburgh Streets
Belgrade Street
Neighborhood Stanton Heights
Origin of name Belgrade, Serbia

Belgrade Street formerly ran parallel to Butler Street along the steep hillside above the 62nd Street Bridge. Livonia Court still exists and goes as far as Sawyer Street; Belgrade Street was twice as far again up the hillside.[1]

This street is listed as Johnson Street in an 1881 ordinance establishing the names of all streets in the city,[2] and it appears in the 1882 Hopkins atlas in a plan of lots laid out by John H. Sawyer.[3] It was renamed Belgrade Street in 1901.[4] Bob Regan includes "Belgrade" in a list of streets named for cities.[5]

Most of the hillside along which Belgrade Street ran was dedicated by the city as the Allegheny Valley Greenway (more commonly called the Morningside Greenway) in 2010–2011.[6][7][8]
