| Origin of name | Schenley Park or Mary Schenley |
Schenley Drive was named by a city ordinance in 1936.[1] It is named for Schenley Park, through which it runs, or perhaps directly for Mary Schenley, who donated the land for Schenley Park in 1889.
The westernmost part of Schenley Drive was renamed Frank Curto Drive in 1977,[2] although street signs still say "Schenley Dr."
