Zaruba Way
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Zaruba Way | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Arlington Heights |
| Fate | Vacated in 1941 |
| Hedge Alley (until 1923) | |
| Origin of name | Perhaps a hedge along a property line |
This former alley was laid out as Hedge Alley in Rebecca E. Bean's Wabash plan of lots in 1902. It was in line with Fort Street in that plan.[1] Hedge Alley ran along the edge of the plan and may have been named for a hedge on the property line.
After St. Clair Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1923,[2] Fort Street was made part of Zaruba Street, and Hedge Alley, since it was in the same line, was renamed Zaruba Way.[3]
Zaruba Way was vacated in 1941.[4]
