This alley was laid out as Wayne Alley in the Negley Place Plan of 1889.[1] It followed part of the line of Wayne Street, which had been vacated the year before.[2]
Wayne Alley was renamed Sandusky Alley in 1901.[3]
In 1910, three years after the annexation of Allegheny into the city of Pittsburgh, Sandusky Alley was renamed Samantha Alley to fix the duplication with Sandusky Street.[4]
Samantha Alley became Samantha Way in 1914 when a city ordinance changed all alleys in Pittsburgh to ways.[5]
