“Where There Are Forks In The Stream”, Or, What’s In A Street Name?
Ever wonder what’s up with most of the street names in Edgebrook/Wildwood? What do “Loron”, “Ponchartrain”, or “Leoti” mean? “Hiawatha”, anyone? Well, it can be traced back to the Native American Potawatomi who settled in Wildwood late in the 17th century, and whom most of the street names here reference. For a brief translation of some of the street names, have a look here. The Wildwood Park Seminoles Football team has graciously compiled some of them for us.
