The structure's nickname references the 1892 Homestead strike, in which Pinkerton forces surrendered to striking union steelworkers.

It is also known as the Pemickey Bridge, for the Pittsburgh, McKeesport and Youghiogheny Railroad (P. McK. & Y., pronounced "Pemickey") which used to run over the bridge.[2]
