Dahlem Place was built by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to provide access to the "Penn–Dahlem area," formerly a Pennsylvania Railroad freight yard. Actions of City Council in 1971 provided funding and authorized the construction of the street.[1][2] It was named for its location off Dahlem Street (today the southeasternmost end of East Liberty Boulevard). Dahlem Street, in turn, was named for Jacob Dahlem, who owned land in the area in the 1800s.[3]
The dedication of Dahlem Place was accepted by a resolution of City Council in 2008.[4]
