Panther Hollow Road was named by a city ordinance in 1936.[1] It is named for Panther Hollow, the stream valley through which it runs.
The name Panther Hollow was in use as early as 1881,[2][3] and it appears in the 1890 Hopkins atlas.[4] Its name recalls the panthers that used to roam the hills and valleys of Western Pennsylvania.[5]
