It is located in the town of North Elba in Essex County.

The mountain was named in 1872 by surveyor Verplanck Colvin after New York State Librarian Alfred Billings Street.

The first recorded ascent was made on June 27, 1921, by conservationist brothers Bob Marshall and George Marshall, and their friend Herbert Clark.

The unmarked trail crosses Indian Brook and continues up the slope of Nye Mountain to its summit, then onward to the summit of Street, 4.0 miles (6.4 km) from the Adirondak Loj.
