South 27th Street was originally named McClurg Street.[1][2][3][4]
The street was renamed 27th Street by 1871.[5][3] The Birmingham borough council had numbered their streets from Sixth to Seventeenth in 1869,[6] and although this action did not directly apply to the streets in East Birmingham, they were apparently numbered about the same time. The "South" prefix was added by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1881;[7] see South First Street for more details.
