The street was named after Jeremiah W. Selby, who owned a farm on St. Anthony Hill, the present location of the Cathedral of Saint Paul.
Formed in 1998, the name Selby Tigers came from Selby Avenue, a main thoroughfare in Saint Paul and a radio broadcast about a Sri Lankan army called the Tamil Tigers.

The band name that the Saint Paul neo-punk quartet the Selby Tigers adopted is an amalgam; a nod to their hometown turf on Selby Avenue, a high-school team mascot, and the aegis of a rebel army.
