This street was laid out as Cemetery Street in a plan of lots subdividing the estate of John Chislett, recorded in 1870.[1][2] This was close to but not the same as an earlier Cemetery Street, a right-angled street that bent around the westernmost corner of St. Mary Cemetery,[3] the northeast–southwest portion of which became part of Davison Street.[4]
Cemetery Street was renamed Carleton Street (with an E) by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1881.[5] In 1910, a similar city ordinance that officially established the names of all streets in Pittsburgh spelled it Carlton Street (without the E).[6] This spelling change was probably unintentional, but the new spelling stuck.
