Curious about how your street was named?

There are a few different ways your street might have been named:

  • Developer - with housing plans - usually, the developer gets to choose the street names...and inspiration could come from anywhere - their children's names, employees, or even their favorite food!

  • A Resident - the family or resident that lived on that street when it was named

  • Grids - 1st, 2nd, 3rd street - a logical way to navigate a city

  • Important People - Washington Street (or Perry Como if you're from Canonsburg!) is probably in every city!

  • Landscape - Hickory, Pine, Summit - ways to describe the area's geography

  • Main Street - this one stuck from the "olden days" when there was only one main street!

Pretty cool, right?
