Post-1906 name:
- West 25th Street
Location:
- Full length of the street extends from a few blocks north of Detroit Ave. to the Brooklyn-Brighton Bridge, however, the portion that was in Brooklyn Centre started at about Daisy Avenue.
Development:
- Ebenezer Fish and Betts and Bibbins developed the section north of Denison Ave.
- Moses Fish developed the section south of Denison Ave.
Named for:
- The origin of the name "Pearl" is unknown. It was already called this by 1835 as attested to by its appearance on a map of that era. There were no property owners in the vicinity with the surname of Pearl for whom the street might have been named.
- Hezekiah Eldredge opened "Pearl Street House" in 1836.
- It can be naturally assumed that the street's name is feminine, but around this time there was a substance in use called pearl ash that may have been the source of the name.
- Potassium carbonate was first identified in 1742 by Antonio Campanella and is the primary component of potash and the more refined pearlash or salts of tartar. Historically pearlash was created by baking potash in a kiln to remove impurities. The fine white powder remaining was the pearlash. Pearlash has been used for soap, glass, and china production."
- Source: Wikipedia article
- Pearl Street's northern end was in the vicinity of several streets named for trees such as Hickory, Hemlock, Willow, Mulberry, and Spruce.
- Another possible reason for the name was the popularity of oysters along the east coast of America, though the family of oysters found there did not produce pearls of commercial value.
- Also at various times called:
- Columbus Road
- Plank Road
- Wayne, Medina, and Cuyahoga Turnpike
- Medina-Wooster Turnpike
- Turnpike Road
- Main Street
- West 25th Street
- Pearl Road
