Marysville’s Historic Street Names
There is no question that as time goes by, things change. Whether that is landscapes, buildings, or place names, change is inevitable and is oftentimes for the best. However, without a concrete understanding of the past, it is near impossible to accurately execute the future void of a firm grip understanding of how one got there.
The simple naming of streets gives enormous insight into the values and the structure of the past. Leaders named streets after things or people they felt were important. As time goes on street names change, in most cases to numbers for uniformity and ease of travel, but that doesn’t mean these old names that were once so important should be forgotten. Many cities have taken excellent steps in remembering this section of the past whether that be reverting street names back to their historic names, or instituting a brown sign program. The brown sign designation from most public works entities is meant to display historic names of places, often streets. Many cities include these brown signs underneath or near the name of the present street name. Unfortunately for many Marysville residents, little if any efforts have been made to educate the public of historic street names. Below in numerical order are the historic street names for Marysville, many of which can still be heard in everyday conversations among long time residents.
There is no concrete date on when numbers officially replaced historic names, it was something that took place over a period of time. In addition to this, it must be remembered that many streets are so new they do not have historic names associated with them. If your street name is not on the list and you think it should be, let me know and I’ll do some digging!
