The area around the nearby stream known as Streets Run was developed as a center for the mining and shipping of coal by the Hays family. They gave their name to the borough of Hays, formed in 1901. It was annexed to the City of Pittsburgh in 1929, eight years after the dedication of this memorial honoring the service of its citizens. The honor roll features a quote from Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States during World War I.
