Little Street is part of a development called Roosevelt Acres, opened in 1929. The street is named for Hyman T. Little, the secretary and treasurer of the development corporation.[1]
Bob Regan includes "Little" in his "Streets of Pittsburgh" crossword puzzle, clued as "Opposite of big."[2] Unfortunately this is only a dictionary definition of the word little and gives no information about the origin of the name.
