The town in which I grew up, Carney's Point, NJ, was an agricultural and
fishing village until the duPont Corp. decided that it would be in their
interest to produce smokeless powder on the opposite side of the Delaware
river from their company headquarters in Wilmington. When they geared up for
World War I they constructed a village (still known as "the village") which
became the nucleus of further growth. (Houses in the village by the way were
sheathed with sheets of neoprene). The unfortunate thing is that the creative
genius who named the streets couldn't get out of his own way: east-west
streets are all named after US Presidents,  but north -south streets are named
after letters of the alphabet (!) A through N. duh!
