Vilsack Street is named for L. Vilsack, who owned the land north of this street and for whom a plan of lots was laid out in 1904.[1][2][3][4] It was dedicated in 1908.[4]
Villanova Road was originally part of Vilsack Street, but it seems that the city believed that the street beyond Chislett Street was not officially named, and it became Villanova Road in 1925.[5]
