The street which originally ran only from Market St. to Washington Ave. was named after Adam Finger, a farmer who owned the land in that section. According to an 1875 Atlas, the Finger farm acreage included the land from the present Finger St on the south to what is now known as Mike Kraut Road on the north. The farmhouse is still standing on Market St. and is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Alan Whitney.
Finger Street until the late 1920's was not much more than a winding lane although houses had been built on either side of the thoroughfare. The village widened and straightened the roadway and constructed curbs at that time. The street was extended to Maiden Ave. when the Knaust development was built in the 1950's.
