The Delmar Loop gets its name from a streetcar turnaround, or "loop", formerly located in the area. Delmar Boulevard was originally known as Morgan Street. According to Norbury L. Wayman in his circa 1980 series History of St. Louis Neighborhoods, the name Delmar was coined when two early landowners living on opposite sides of the road, one from Delaware and one from Maryland, combined the names of their home states. The town of Delmar, Delaware, on the border between the two states, derived its name in similar fashion. The Delmar Loop station, a stop on the MetroLink Red Line, is located at the eastern end of the area.
