This alley was laid out in 1862 in a plan of lots for Joseph Patterson, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] The name Umpire Alley was officially established by a Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1881.[2] It became Umpire Way in 1914 when another ordinance changed all alleys in the city to ways.[3]
