This street was opened and dedicated in 1947 as a result of an agreement between the City of Pittsburgh, J. K. Davison & Bro., and the Crucible Steel Company of America to close 30th Street between Railroad Street and the Allegheny River and open a new street along the western property line of the Crucible Steel Company. The new street was named Twenty-Nine and a Half Street.[1]
In 1964, Eazor Express, a trucking company headquartered on the street, asked City Council to rename it Eazor Square.[2] This was done by an ordinance passed a few months later.[3]
