PSL Historical Questions and Answers

Q. My maiden name is Doat. Could tell me how Doat Street got its name? (Also street names in general)

A. When General Development Corp. was laying out the initial 80-square miles or so of the city, planners were faced with naming hundreds (thousands?) of streets, most only a few blocks long. A few were named after GDC employees or members of their families; however the majority came from a thick book of suggested street names published for just such purposes.
