An alley in approximately the location of modern Cygnet Street was laid out in 1869 in the Crystal Palace plan of lots, though this plan did not give it a name.[1] This plan was replaced by the very similarly named Crystal Place plan, recorded in 1874, which laid out Cygnet Alley.[2] This name was officially established by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1881.[3]
It became Cygnet Street in 1910, when another city ordinance that officially established the names of all streets in Pittsburgh listed it as just "Cygnet" and further said that "all names not otherwise designated in this Ordinance shall be and the same are hereby fixed as 'streets.'"[4]
