History

United Nations Avenue was formerly known as Isaac Peral Street, after the Spanish engineer who designed the world's first fully capable military submarine in the late 19th century.[2] Originally a short street in Ermita,[3][4] it was later extended towards Paco, linking it to what was then called Calle Canonigo, which later became part of the avenue that ended at the present-day Tanque Street.[citation needed] It was previously planned to reach as far as Pandacan at the east; however, it only reached up to its present-day terminus in Paco.[5]

It was later renamed in recognition of the World Health Organization, a United Nations agency, whose building was built in 1959 in the former University of the Philippines property located at its southwest corner with Taft Avenue.[6] The avenue was also the site of the first Hilton Hotel in the Philippines which opened in 1960.[7] This hotel is now Waterfront Manila Hotel and Casino.
