This alley was laid out as Quince Alley in 1890 in a plan of lots by John A. and Samuel L. Wood.[1]
Esplen Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in January 1906.[2] That September, a Pittsburgh city ordinance renamed many streets in the old borough to fix duplicates. Quince Alley was missed in this renaming;[3] it should have been renamed because there was another Quince Alley on the Bluff.
Quince Alley became Quince Way in 1914, when another ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[4]
