Danenhower Street first appears in the Camden City Directory of 1863–1864. It may have been named for prominent Camden businessman George R. Danenhower. John A. Oetzel lived at 120 Danenhower Street during the mid-1880s before buying the tavern at 438 Arch Street, which he operated from 1889 through 1922 as Oetzel's Saloon.
