This street was laid out as Kenwood Street in 1903 in the Boulevard plan.[1]
In 1910, three years after Allegheny City was annexed by Pittsburgh,[2] over 900 streets were renamed to fix duplicates. Kenwood Street was changed to Kemper Street to avoid confusion with Kenwood Avenue in Perry South.[3]
