It’s safe to say that over the years, Chattanooga has been touched by countless historical figures and happenings — many of which have shaped the names of Chattanooga’s streets.
Amnicola Highway | This highway is named after the farm owned by Thomas Crutchfield, Jr. He operated the city’s largest hotel at the time, the Crutchfield House, which is now the Read House Hotel.
Suck Creek Road | This road runs parallel to the creek that got its name from where it flows into the Tennessee River. Its rapids + whirlpools were said to suck in boats before the dam on the river submerged the rapids.
St. Elmo Avenue | This historic town was first a Cherokee community. Later in 1905, the town was incorporated as St. Elmo, with the name taken from the title of a novel written by Augusta J. Evans Williams, who spent time in the area during the mid-1800s + compared it to a view similar to St. Elmo Castle in Naples, Italy.
This weekend also marks Veterans Day weekend — honor those you know by bringing them to one of these local celebrations happening now through Monday, Nov. 11.
