This street was laid out as Maple Avenue (from modern Scorer Street to Barberry Street) and part of Miller Avenue (from Barberry Street to Lindberg Avenue) in the Brierley plan of lots in 1902.[1]
Lincoln Place was annexed by the City of Pittsburgh in 1929.[2] Pittsburgh already had a Maple Terrace and a Miller Street, so Maple Avenue and part of Miller Avenue were renamed Kinley Avenue by a city ordinance the following year.[3]
The segment of Kinley Avenue from Barberry Street to Lindberg Avenue, which was formerly part of Miller Avenue, no longer exists.
