NEW YORK (PIX11) – You can explore the history behind co-named streets in New York City through an interactive map.
The New York City Department of Records offers an interactive map online that provides biographical information for streets that have been co-named by the New York City Council.
The map tells the stories of nearly 2,500 notable people throughout the five boroughs, according to the Department of Records.
“There are several ways to search. Using the search bar on the map interface, you could enter the honoree’s name to locate an individual or use the zip code to find all co-named streets in that area. You could also enter key words, i.e. firefighter, police officer,” the website states.
