The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. House, 16 Hulbert Street, was constructed c. 1930. In 1930/31, the house was owned and occupied by Walter Baker. Mr Baker continued to own the house until c. 1982.
