| Origin of name | Modification of Oakdale, its original name |
| Oakdale Avenue (until 1930) | |
This street was laid out as Oakdale Avenue in the Calhoun Park plan of 1917.[1]
Lincoln Place was annexed by the City of Pittsburgh in 1929.[2] Pittsburgh already had an Oakdale Street on the North Side, so Oakdale Avenue was renamed Oakleaf Drive the next year.[3] The name is simply a modification of Oakdale.
