Riverside's Street Names: The Stories Behind the Names of Riverside California's Major (and Some Minor) Streets - Paperback

Have you ever wondered about the origins and meanings of a street's name? Why is a particular street called what it is? Some are obvious - Park, Canal, School, etc. all lead to those destinations, or are the roads they are on. But some street names, though, are not so easy. In this look at the street names of Riverside, California, local historian Steve Lech tries to shed some light on how and why various streets in that Inland Southern California city got their names. Streets we travel each and every day - Arlington, Central, Victoria, Market, all were once just lines on a map in need of some identifier. This book will explain how those and other streets were named.
