This alley was laid out as Stark Alley in Extension No. 1 to the McElhinny plan of lots in 1901.[1]
Lincoln Place was annexed by the City of Pittsburgh in 1929.[2] The next year Stark Alley was renamed Z Way;[3] perhaps it was felt that the name Stark was too similar to that of Starch Street in Allentown. The names M Way through Z Way assigned in 1930 continued a series of consecutively lettered alleys in the Calhoun Park plan of 1917, which had B Way (later Oakleaf Way) through L Way.[4]
