Greenwich street names reveal town history across 350 years
Greenwich Conservation Commissioner Joseph D. Zeranski studies street names to trace early paths and purposes from Shore Road dating back to the 1640s to Indian Field Road and Weaver Street. He links routes to fences, fields, and Indian terms, noting some names reflect late 19th and 20th century revisions while historians like William E. Finch caution on a few origins.
