Notes:
Looks like Central Ave from the south was tied into Vine St. and Wolfskill Ave and all became Central (which had ended at 7th) sometime between 1890 and 1902. Was traced on 1890 Sanborn which probably isn't geolocated quite right.

If no map shows up when you choose a map, the map may not cover that region, so try another map. A little buggy yet to say the least. To compare contemporary a map to an old map, the Overlays have to be toggled on and off.
Between ~1890 and ~1894, Wolfskill Ave became Central Ave
