The streets in Pacific Beach were renamed several times before receiving their current designations in 1900.<ref name="sandiegohistory.org">{{cite web|url=https://www.sandiegohistory.org/journal/76spring/izard.htm|title=Locker, Z.B., "Whatever happened to Izard Street?"

Mission Boulevard was formerly Allison Street, being the "A" street of the series. Ingraham was initially named Broadway (1887), then was changed to Izard (1900), back to Broadway (1907) and finally settled as Ingraham Street in 1913.<ref name=":0" />
