This street was laid out as Oxford Alley in 1891 in the Dean Park plan of lots by E. W. Dean.[1] It became Oxford Street in 1910, when a city ordinance that officially established the names of all streets in Pittsburgh listed it as just "Oxford" and said that "all names not otherwise designated in this Ordinance shall be and the same are hereby fixed as 'streets.'"[2] Oxford Street was renamed Oldsmar Street in 1925.[3]
