A road in the approximate location of modern Morningside Avenue appears in Allegheny County maps from the 1850s and 1860s.[1][2][3] It is labeled Morningside Road in the 1872 Hopkins atlas, including modern Mossfield Street.[4] This name was in use at least as early as 1866.[5]
An 1881 Pittsburgh city ordinance established the name Morningside Avenue.[6]
The lower part of Baker Street was considered part of Morningside Road until about 1870.[4][7]
The part of Morningside Avenue between Rebecca Street (today Aiken Avenue) and Mathilda Street, which had become disconnected from the rest of Morningside Avenue, was renamed Mossfield Street in 1910.[8]
