Sloan Street, from modern Florien Street to Frustum Street, was laid out in an 1884 plan of lots by Emma M. Bell[1] and an 1890 plan of lots by John A. and Samuel L. Wood.[2] A revised version of Bell's plan was recorded in 1892.[3]
An 1883 plan by Thomas H. Hunter included an unnamed alley from modern Florien Street to Tabor Street.[4] In 1893, an Esplen borough ordinance made this alley part of Sloan Street (despite calling it an "alley").[5]
Esplen Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in January 1906.[6] That September, a Pittsburgh city ordinance that officially established the names of the streets and alleys in the new Fortieth Ward listed "Sloan street and alley, between Frustum street and Tabor street."[7] It appears that the intent was that the portion between Frustum Street and Florien Street should be Sloan Street, while the portion between Florien Street and Tabor Street should be Sloan Alley (today Sloan Way).
