Zulu Way
Neighborhood Lower Lawrenceville
Zulu Alley (until 1914)

This narrow alley, running for a half block from 3626 Smallman Street to Melville Way, is probably the alphabetically last street in Pittsburgh, but there is some confusion over its name: is it Zulu or Zula?

The name Zulu Alley was established by a city ordinance in 1881[1] and re-established by another ordinance in 1910.[2] It became Zulu Way in 1914 when an ordinance changed all alleys in the city to ways.[3]

Zulu Alley appears in J. F. Diffenbacher's city directory of 1882[4] and thereafter appears in every annual issue until the last one in 1897.[5][a] The successor of Diffenbacher's directory was Polk's directory, which included Zulu Alley or Way in each issue from 1902[20] at least through 1928,[21] though beginning in 1914 it was described as "not open."[22][b]

Zulu Alley appears in A. M. Neeper's 1886 guide of election districts[46] and on Hopkins plat maps from 1890, 1900, 1906, and 1914.[47][48][49][50] Zulu Way appears in a street directory published by the Pittsburgh Publishing Co. in 1916,[51] in the 1923 Lewis' Pittsburgh Guide,[52] and in the 1947 Bloom's Street Guide.[53] The transfer of a parcel of land on Zulu Way was reported by the Post-Gazette in 1920.[54]

However, the name has occasionally been spelled Zula instead of Zulu. Martha W. Brown Haven's Pittsburg and Allegheny Blue Book of 1895 lists "Zula ave., from Smallman to Melville ave." (The label "avenue" here seems to be a bit of an exaggeration.) Strangely for a list that includes this short alley, it omits Zulema Street, so nothing can be inferred from their alphabetical ordering.[55] In the first four Polk directories, from 1898 to 1901, and in a unique Allegheny County Business Directory published by Polk in 1900, the name appears as Zula Alley. But this seems to be a clerical or typographical error, as it is alphabetized after Zulema.[56][57][58][59][60] The error was corrected in the 1902 Polk directory, which lists Zulu Alley.[20]

The weight of evidence seems to indicate that the correct name is Zulu. This is supported in particular by the 1910 ordinance affirming the name Zulu (after which I can find nothing mentioning a name change) and the fact that the spelling Zula in early Polk directories was corrected to Zulu in later editions. Nevertheless, the current street sign on Smallman Street reads Zula Way. If the name was indeed changed to Zula at some point after 1910, then the title for alphabetically last street in Pittsburgh has been surrendered to Zulema Street.
