Junilla Street
From Pittsburgh Streets

| Origin of name | E. P. Jones |
The portion of this street between Wylie Avenue and Webster Avenue was laid out as Jones Street in 1871 in a plan of lots by E. P. Jones and Charles Jeremy.[1]
In 1881, many streets were renamed in order to fix duplicates. Jones and Jeremy, along with John D. Scully, had laid out another plan to the north that included a Jones Avenue (today part of Brereton Street), so to avoid confusion Jones Street was renamed Junilla Street.[2]
