History
U.N. 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. 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.
The avenue was also the site of the first Hilton Hotel in the Philippines which opened in 1960. This hotel is now Waterfront Manila Pavilion.
