My best guess is that he’s named after the brother (Joseph Alphonse Lamonte) of the development’s builder (Charles Lamonte). But any confirmation that Joseph Alponse Lamonte used “Alfred” as his middle name — […]

Alden Court is in the Wilmot Woods neighborhood of New Rochelle. It is named after John Alden, signatory of the Mayflower Compact, early colonist, and major figure in Longfellow’s Courtship of Miles Standish.

Albert Leonard Road is named after Albert Leonard. It would be wild indeed — but not inconceivable — if this were not to be the case. For example, it could have been named after two people — one named Albert and one named Leonard. Let’s say that Leonard brand water valves include a special […]

Albemarle Avenue is a street in the far southern end of Rochelle Heights – that part along its hem that drags against the sound walls of I-95. But more on that later. The word, “Albemarle,” itself refers to a town in Normandy named, “Aumale” – or more precisely, the Latin name of that town, “Alba Marl” (or […]

Agar Avenue is a Street in the Premium Point Park neighborhood of New Rochelle, near the border of Larchmont, south of Post Road. It winds down a hillside to meet the northeasternmost reach of Echo Bay — one of those fingers of the Sound that the moon renders mostly mud and rivulets for a lot […]

Adams Street is located in Homestead Park. Without citation, the Standard Star suggested that this street was named after the second president (John Adams) and the sixth president (John Quincy Adams). That this street was named after both presidents, I cannot confirm. But that it was named after at least one of these presidents appears […]
