This street was laid out in 1864 in a plan of lots for Robert Wray and Augustus Hoeveler, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] The portion of the street in that plan, between Edmond Street and Mathilda Street, was named First Street by 1872, because it was the first street from Liberty Avenue.[2] Rebecca Baum's neighboring 1873 plan of lots named it Sciota Street.[3] An 1881 city ordinance, establishing the names of all streets in Pittsburgh, spelled it Scioto Street,[4] but this was probably just an error. A similar ordinance in 1910 officially established the name as Sciota.[5]
