The portion of this street west of Irwin Avenue was laid out as Maginn Avenue in the City Savings Bank's Columbia Park plan, recorded in 1891.[1] It appears in the 1890 Hopkins atlas.[2]
It was named for Charles Maginn (or McGinn), who lived at the southwest corner of Marshall Avenue and Irwin Avenue.[3][4][2]
Maginn Avenue was officially changed to Maginn Street by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1910, which listed it as just "Maginn" (thoroughfares not otherwise designated were declared to be streets).[5]
