The "Mexican War Streets" District – Central Northside, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The "Mexican War Streets" comprise an historic district in the Central Northside neighbourhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. The district is densely filled with beautifully restored row houses, community gardens and tree lined streets and alleyways.

In the late 19th century, Allegheny, Pennsylvania (later annexed by Pittsburgh), became known for its stately homes, occupied by some of the area’s wealthy families. One such area became known as "The Mexican War Streets," originally known as "The Buena Vista Tract." The Mexican War Streets were laid out between 1848 and 1855 by Alexander Hays on land owned by General William Robinson, who later became mayor of the city of Allegheny. A number of the streets are named after battles and generals of the Mexican–American War, including Buena Vista Street, Monterey Street, Palo Alto Street, Resaca Place, Sherman Avenue, and Taylor Avenue. Fremont Street (currently Brighton Place) was originally named in recognition of John C. Frémont.
