Park Avenue was originally known as "Fourth Avenue" and carried the tracks of the New York and Harlem Railroad starting in the 1830s. In the 1850s, the tracks north of 14th Street were sunk out of sight in a tunnel whose roof was covered with grates and grass. This long, grass-roofed tunnel was the "park" of Park Avenue, and the name was changed at that time. At 97th Street, the tracks emerge from underground and north of that point, the Park Avenue Viaduct runs above the avenue, carrying commuter rail service for Metro-North Railroad.
The avenue retains the name "Fourth Avenue" between 8th and 14th Streets, and the name "Lafayette Place" south of 8th Street. From 14th Street to 17th Street, it is also known as "Union Square East", as it borders Union Square .
