The road also forms the southern boundary of theManila North Cemetery. It is named afterBohemian professor andfilipinologistFerdinand Blumentritt.

The portion up to theManila North Cemetery was also a right-of-way of thetranvía until 1945.[4] The road passes through theChinese General Hospital and Medical Center and the Manila North Green Park before turning southeast in Sampaloc. The road intersects withDimasalang Street,A. Bonifacio Avenue, N.S. Amoranto Sr. Avenue, Laon Laan Road, andEspaña Boulevard before terminating at G.
