New Avenue is not new. In fact it was named by February 1894 – and maybe even a couple of years earlier. It was laid out on a thousand acre tract that landowner Richard Garvey had subdivided in 1892 and it originated at its intersection with Garvey Avenue. Why “New”? I have no idea, other than it being a “new” street that would have promised “new” beginnings and/or “new” revenue for whoever bought a lot or two upon it.
