This street was laid out as Flora Avenue in 1900 in the Bon-Air plan of lots.[1] It was renamed Freda Avenue by a West Liberty Borough ordinance in 1907.[2] West Liberty Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1908,[3] and the following year a Pittsburgh city ordinance changed the name again to Fordyce Street.[4]
