A street named Oak Street was laid out in 1891 in the Jenny Heirs plan of lots. Most of the streets in this plan were named for trees. Oak Street was further west than modern Odanah Street; it ran through the area now occupied by Spring Hill Playground.[1][2]
Oak Street was renamed Oakview Street by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1912.[3]
In 1916, Joseph Hartle laid out a plan of lots that included an eastern extension of Oakview Street (though the two segments did not connect).[4] This is the part of the street that exists today.
Both segments of Oakview Street were renamed Odanah Street in 1925.[5]
The original portion of the street, laid out in the Jenny Heirs plan, was vacated in 1965.[6]
