In February of 1851, Antonio de la Guerra and Judge Joaquin Carrillo were appointed by the City Council to apply names to the new streets resulting from the Salisbury Haley survey.
Unlike other towns whose streets bore the unimaginative A – Z, numbers or names of presidents, they gave names to 51 streets that portrayed the geography and botany of our town, honored the Chumash, early settlers, governors and showed a distinct sense of humor and sarcasm.
