| Origin of name | Its status as a western extension of Zara Street |
This alley was laid out in T. S. Maple's plan of Maplevale, recorded in the early 1890s, though that plan did not give it a name.[1]
Beltzhoover Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1898.[2] This alley remained unnamed until it was named Zara Way by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1917,[3] reflecting its status as a western extension of Zara Street.
Zara Way was renamed Zelda Way in 1925.[4]
