We have a road near us named ' Squedunk ' and I was curious about how it got that name.
So I went and did a search. Didn't find an answer about Squedunk but I did read an interesting
story about a town near by.
Just thought it cute and thought you'd like it also.
The town is Whitney Point in New Your USA -
Population 1006 or so... maybe 50 give or take streets in all the town.
Whitney Point is the larger small town in the area...it's where we go for Chinese food, the liquor store, and other emergency groceries. It has a Main Street, a Park Street, and 114th Street. We found this mildly amusing on one of our first cruises through. Some time later, we found ourselves in the back room of the Whitney Point library, talking with the town historian. She told us that in the 1920s some kids from W.P. went to New York City (she impressed upon us that this was a big deal), and as part of their wild time there they stole a street sign from 114th street. They brought it back and stuck it up at the end of their street in Whitney Point. This was extra-amusing, the historian said, because no other streets in Whitney Point had street signs, or official names. The stolen sign stayed, and the street was officially named 114th street. So, take that NYC.
Oh, if anyone know anything about Squedunk, clue me in please.
