History

Spruce Street was originally named George Street, in honor of King George III of Great Britain, and was laid out around 1725 by English settlers. By 1817 it was colloquially known as Little George Street.[1]

The street also contains the main entrance for the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts, as well as one for Pace University located on the same block.
