The name Apple Street was established by an 1881 ordinance establishing the names of all streets in the city of Pittsburgh.[1] Apple Street appears in the 1882 Hopkins atlas.[2]
The part of Apple Street east of Lincoln Avenue was originally named Spencer Street, which also included what is today Stranahan Street.[2][3] This was the name of Joseph Spencer, who lived at about the middle of the street (near the modern intersection of Apple and Stranahan Streets).[4][2][3] The eastern part of Spencer Street was renamed Sprague Street in 1906[5] and became Stranahan Street in 1925.[6] The western part of Spencer Street, between Lincoln Avenue and Upland Street, was made part of Apple Street in 1927.[7]
