Miltenberger Street is named for George Miltenberger, whose country home was at that location.[1][2][3] Other sources are less specific and say simply that the street was named for the Miltenberger family[4][5] or a large landowner.[6]
A member of the Miltenberger family, Emily Miltenberger, married James S. Craft,[4][3] for whom are named Craft Avenue and the borough of Crafton (and hence Crafton Boulevard).[4]
