This street was laid out as Palmer Alley in 1871 for the heirs of Samuel Garrison.[1] It became Palmer Way in 1914, when a Pittsburgh city ordinance changed all alleys in the city to ways.[2] It was renamed Palmyra Street in 1925 (though, due to a typo, the renaming ordinance actually said "Balmyra").[3]
