Question:

Where do i find history of road names?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Place names and road names tend to be an accretion of various impulses through time. Taken together, they tell the social and political history of a place. At every point in time, someone somewhere will say the latest naming fad jars with the custom of a place. Sometimes, these detractors will be proven right, and when the fashion passes, the place names linger to cause either embarrassment to those who know their silly origins, or mystery to those who don't. But at other times, the custom of a place evolves, and the names that at first seemed completely out of character become part of us.

Each naming fashion is a marker of its time. Each is like a sediment of history laid onto our ground.
