This street was laid out in 1890 in a partition of the Engstler estate, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named Engstler Street by 1913, when a St. Clair borough ordinance was enacted authorizing its widening and opening.[2] The 1872 Hopkins atlas shows that "Mrs. Engslar" owned land here at that time.[3]
St. Clair Borough, including Engstler Street, was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1923,[4] and Engstler Street was officially established as a Pittsburgh street name later that year.[5]
