| Neighborhood | Bloomfield |
| Origin of name | Maybe Paul Cullen |
This street appears in two plans of lots from the mid-1860s, though neither plan gives it a name.[1][2] The name Cullen Street was officially established by a city ordinance in 1881.[3]
It may have been named for Paul Cullen (1803–1878), the first Irish cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church.
