George T. Fleming, in a 1915 newspaper column about military origins of street names, wrote: "We had several Warren streets, the name commonly arising from the continued and widespread use of that patronymic in commemoration of Dr. Joseph Warren, who fell at Bunker Hill in the Revolution, so that we cannot claim recognition of an honor to Maj. Gen. Governeur K. Warren [sic], the revered commander of the Fifth Corps of the Army of the Potomac in 1864–65, in which corps so many of our Western Pennsylvania soldiers served."[1]
