Torrence Avenue was named after a former Civil War general named Joseph T. Torrence. During the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, there was considerable rioting in a number of cities (including Chicago) as workers protested labor conditions, especially the fact that the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad had just cut wages for the third time. Gen. Torrence led the Chicago militia at that time, as the city tried to restore order.
