This street was laid out as Plumb Street in 1892 in a plan of lots for J. & S. McNaugher.[1]
Allegheny City was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907.[2] In 1910, over 900 streets were renamed to fix duplicates; in order to prevent confusion with Plum Alley in Lawrenceville (today Plum Way), Plumb Street was changed to Pynchon Street.[3]
