(Redirected from Henry Street (Hodge Street))
Hodge Street
Neighborhood South Oakland
Henry Street (until 1881)
Portion South of Frazier Street
Halket Street (until 1908)
Portion North of Frazier Street

This street was originally laid out as Henry Street in 1871 in a plan of lots for William Carr and William E. Schmertz.[1] This name conflicted with that of Henry Street in North Oakland, so it was renamed Hodge Street by a city ordinance in 1881.[2]

The part of Hodge Street connecting to Bates Street was laid out in 1898 as an unnamed alley in a plan of lots by the Peoples Savings Bank.[3]

Henry or Hodge Street originally connected to Halket Street at Frazier Street, and Halket Street ran north to Wilmot Street (today the Boulevard of the Allies).[4] This portion of Halket Street was made part of Hodge Street in 1908.[5] Hodge Street no longer connects to the Boulevard of the Allies.
