| Portion | Southwest of Motor Street |
This street was laid out as Walnut Street in 1892 in the Sheraden Land & Improvement Company's addition to the Sheraden Terrace plan.[1] It was extended southwest of Motor Street as Wyncote Street (with one T) in the 1901 Keystone plan.[2]
After Sheraden Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907,[3] the name Walnut Street conflicted with that of Walnut Street in Shadyside, so it was renamed Wyncotte Street (with two Ts) by a city ordinance the following year. This ordinance also kept the name Wyncote Street (with one T) for the southwestern segment.[4] The difference in spelling was probably unintentional, but the spelling Wyncotte, with two Ts, was officially established for the whole length of the street by another ordinance in 1910.[5]
