Cedar Avenue runs along the west side of what was originally the East Common, part of the open pasture that surrounded the town of Allegheny[1][2][3][4] (today part of Allegheny Commons Park). By 1864 two streets had been established through the East Common: Union Avenue (today Union Place) on the west side and Cedar Avenue on the east.[5][6][7]
