McKee Street (until 1911)
Origin of name David, Daniel, and John D. McKee

This street was originally named McKee Street,[1] for members of the McKee family who owned the strip of land along the west side of Hawthorne Street north of Stanton Avenue: David McKee,[2] Daniel McKee,[1] and John D. McKee.[3] The name McKee Street was approved by a city ordinance in 1895.[4]

In 1911, McKee Street was renamed McCabe Street to fix the duplication with another McKee Street in Greenfield (today Musgrave Street) and McKee Place in Oakland.[5]
