The street was formerly known as James Street, the change occurring in 1901/02. The site was a vacant lot through to the 1920s. In December 1927 Council approved plans for a weatherboard house to be built at the site for Mr H.D. Whitbread (22 Hickory Street). It cost £650 and was constructed by T Gardner of Mt Lawley. Hedley Draper Whitbred, a draper, had purchased the lot in 1927 and continued to live in the house through into the late 1930s.
