| Origin of name | Sequential numbering from Chartiers Creek |
This street was laid out as Sylvis Avenue in 1888 in a plan of lots by John A. and Samuel L. Wood.[1][2] In 1893, the streets in Esplen were numbered, and Sylvis Avenue became Fifth Street.[3][4]
Esplen Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in January 1906.[5] That September, a Pittsburgh city ordinance renamed many streets in the old borough, and Fifth Street became Frustum Street.[6]
The formerly numbered streets in Esplen form one of Pittsburgh's F–S–T sequences.
