This street was laid out as Garrison Street in 1868 in a plan of lots by Samuel Garrison.[1]
In 1881, many streets were renamed to fix duplicates; Garrison Street was changed to Gallatin Street to avoid confusion with Garrison Alley downtown (today Garrison Place).[2][3] It is named for Albert Gallatin (1761–1849),[4] who represented Pennsylvania in both houses of Congress, served as the fourth United States Secretary of the Treasury, and founded New York University.
