Jersey Street is a street in the Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, part of a scheme of alphabetical street names in Back Bay.[1] It lies parallel to Ipswich Street and Kilmarnock Street, and runs from Brookline Avenue to Park Drive. Named in the late 1850s, the street's name is a reference to the sixth Earl of Jersey, George Augustus Frederick Child Villiers.[2][3]
Jersey Street is the address of Fenway Park, and a two-block section of Jersey Street where the ballpark is located was named Yawkey Way from 1977 until 2018.
