The following information is based, in part, on the book Mosaic of Winnipeg Street Names which described the historical origins of some Winnipeg street names. It was published by the Canadian Institute of Onomastic Sciences (precursor to today’s Canadian Society for the Study of Names) in 1974, in commemoration of Winnipeg’s founding in 1874. Its compiler, the late scholar Jaroslav Bohdan Rudnyckyj (1910-1995), acknowledged prior efforts to document the history of Winnipeg street names, starting with Mary Hislop. Her book The Streets of Winnipeg, published in 1912, was the first of its kind in Canada. Rudnyckyj quoted Hislop extensively in his update. He also paid homage to Winnipeg historians Harry Shave and Vince Leah who wrote respectively for the Winnipeg Free Press and Winnipeg Tribune on the basis of city street names.

For a brief period in the late 19^th century, starting in 1891, Winnipeg streets were numbered rather than named. Read the story here.
