This alley was laid out in 1888 in a plan of lots for Eliza J. Woolslayer, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was named Nickel Way by a city ordinance in 1921.[2]
The originally proposed name was Nero Way, but the Public Service and Surveys Committee changed it to Nickel Way.[3] Just a few years later, a different alley named Nero Way was laid out in Windgap.[4]
