Harkness Ave.
[edit]Any idea whether Harkness Ave. in Visitacion Valley is named for H. W. Harkness? I'm not sure where I could find a source for this. Peter G Werner (talk) 20:49, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Webb Street
[edit]Webb Street predates Stephen Palfrey Webb's 1853 arrival in San Francisco and could not possibly have been named after him. You can find references to Webb Street in 1850 editions of the Daily Alta California, and here's an ordinance for the paving and grading of Webb Street in 1850.
There is a Webb Place which starts to crop up in maps and newspaper articles by 1900, and perhaps that is what is being referenced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sleepcarprotein (talk • contribs) 21:42, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

[edit]The only source for main street being named after charles main is this random blog post, with no sources: https://mountainviewpeople.blogspot.com/2007/09/charles-main-1817-1906.html
Do we have a better source somewhere? 73.243.120.86 (talk) 05:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
