CHANGES IN NAMES.
If one of the residents of the olden time were to rise from his grave, he would be troubled to find even the names of streets familiar in bygone days. The streets of the town as they were prior to 1805 have entirely disappeared ; those named St. Louis, St. Ann, St. James, and St. Honore, all passed away in the fire.
The Governor and Judges originally intended to locate the Court House in the center of the Grand Circus ; and Woodward Avenue, on their first plan, was designated Court House Avenue. In the final plan of 1806 it was called by its present name. On December 17, 1818, an Act of the Governor and Judges changed the name between Campus Martius and Adams Avenue to Congress Avenue, but, not- withstanding this action, common usage sanctioned the name Woodward Avenue for the entire length up to Adams Avenue. From this street north, it was at first laid out only one half of its present width. The west side was first opened, and was called Witherell Street. It was also known by the names Pontiac Road and Saginaw Turnpike. Tra- dition says that this portion was laid out and named during the absence of Judge Woodward. When he returned, and found what had been done, he said the street was "rightly named Witherell, for it withered all his plans." He was told that he ought not to find fault, for he had named Woodward Ave- nue after himself. He replied that he had named it Woodward, not because that was his name, but be- cause the street actually ran wood-ward, towards the
woods. He also claimed that Woodbridge Street was not named after the governor, but from the wood- bridge over the Savoyard on the line of the street.
On a city map published in 1837, a number of streets appeared which had no existence, as the prop- erty through which they ran had not been sub-di- vided. The names were given as possible names, and were as follows : George Street, now High, was called Earl, Henry was called Warren, Sproat was called Allegan, Bagg was called St. Joseph, Charlotte was called Louis, Peterboro was called Morse, Prospect was called Le Grand, Pearl was called Gaines, Gra- tiot from Randolph to Antoine was called St. Mary, and as late as 1847 it was sometimes so designated. It was also called the Fort Gratiot Road, and a por- tion of the west end was called Virginia Street. Another street by this last name once existed near Randolph, between Congress and Larned Streets. Franklin Street between Randolph and Brush Streets is recorded as Berthelet Alley. Mr. McCabe, in his Directory of 1837, gave names to various alleys, but the names were not retained. His list of alleys embraced the names of Bolivar, Cæsar, Centre, Commercial, Emily, Furnace, Julius, McCabe, Poline, Railroad, and Therese. The alley in the rear of the present First National Bank he called School Lane. It will be noticed that his own name, Julius P. Bolivar McCabe, was to be per- petuated in the names of at least three of the alleys.
