This street was first laid out as Llewellynn Avenue in a plan of lots by Robert Stevenson recorded in 1889.[1] In a revision of this plan made by Stevenson's heirs in 1898, it was named Llewellynn Street.[2]
In 1921, Chartiers Township, including this street, was annexed by the city of Pittsburgh.[3] The following year a Pittsburgh city ordinance renamed many streets in the former township to fix duplication with existing city streets; Llewellynn Street was changed to Nittany Street to avoid confusion with Llewellyn Place in Larimer.[4]
