This alley was laid out as Daisy Alley in 1879 in a plan of lots that subdivided the estate of Elizabeth F. Denny.[1]
In 1896, an Allegheny city ordinance renamed Daisy Alley to Juno Alley.[2]
After Allegheny City was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907,[3] this name conflicted with Juno Street in Oakland. Over 900 streets and alleys were renamed in 1910 to fix such duplications; Juno Alley was changed to Jabok Alley.[4]
It became Jabok Way in 1914, when a Pittsburgh city ordinance changed all alleys to ways.[5]
