This alley was laid out in the McKinley Bros. plan of lots, recorded in 1889, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] By 1891 it had become considered part of Orwell Alley (today Orwell Way).[2] But the two segments of Orwell Alley never connected, and so in 1910 the northeastern segment was renamed Orville Alley.[3] It became Orville Way in 1914, when a city ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[4]
