If you know the origin of a Burlington street name, your wisdom is appreciated. Some are obvious topographical references and aren’t worth pursuing (Rocky Hill etc.) And some have obvious historical roots (Winn). It’s the myriad other names that need clarification (Winona, Van Norden etc.). Please email the information to BurlingtonRetro@gmail.com.

Dolores Dr — Originally became Ronald Road as it turned left and ran parallel to the power lines, but Ronald Road sounded too much like Donald Road, so the town erased the name and extended the Dolores name around that left turn.
