| Elin Street (until 1907) | |
This street was laid out in 1890 in the Zimmerman Park plan of lots, though that plan did not give it a name.[1][2][3]
At some point it was given the name Elin Street. In 1907, a West Liberty Borough ordinance renamed it Ensign Avenue.[4]
West Liberty Borough, including this street, was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1908.[5]
