A plan of lots in the Friendship Park area, laid out by Augustus H. Gross, for whom Gross Street is named, was approved by City Councils in 1869. This plan included an unnamed alley from Corday Alley (today Corday Way) to Comrie Alley (today Comrie Way) between Fitch Street (today Millvale Avenue) and Gross Street.[1]
The Friendship Park plan, recorded in 1887, separated the northern and southern halves of this alley; it named the northern half Goodwin Alley (and the southern half Mound Alley, later Mend Way and today part of Corday Way).[2] A revision of this plan in 1894 changed the name to Goodwood Alley.[3] It became Goodwood Way in 1914, when a city ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[4]
