This street was laid out as Franklin Avenue in 1900 in the Bandi Farm plan of lots by Frank I. Gosser.[1] It was renamed Eagle 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 Embargo Street.[4] Finally, in 1914, it was renamed Gosser Street[5] for the developer who originally laid it out.
