Petite histoire
Originaire du Vermont, l'homme d'affaires Edwin Atwater (1808-1874) joue un rôle actif dans le développement de Montréal. Il participe en 1846 à la fondation de la Compagnie du télégraphe de Montréal, de la Banque d'épargne de la cité et du district de Montréal dont il est par la suite administrateur, vice-président puis président. Il préside aussi la Commission de l'aqueduc, de 1851 à 1857, ainsi que le Bureau de commerce de Montréal. Dans l'Administration municipale, il représente le quartier Saint-Antoine où passe cette voie.

History of Tenth Avenue
Tenth Avenue runs through the Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen neighborhoods on the west side of the borough, and then as Amsterdam Avenue, through the Upper West Side, Morningside Heights, Harlem, and Washington Heights. Much of these areas were working-class or poor for much of the 20th century. The street has long been noted for its commercial traffic. The street had grade-level railroad lines through the early 20th century.[4]
The Hudson River Railroad's West Side Line ran along Tenth Avenue from its intersection with West Street to the upper city station at 34th Street, after which it veered to Eleventh Avenue; the line was completed to Peekskill, New York in 1849. Over this part of the right-of-way, the rails were laid at grade along the streets, and since by the corporation regulations locomotives were not allowed, the cars were drawn by a dummy engine, which, according to an 1851 description, consumed its own smoke. While passing through the city the train of cars was preceded by a man on horseback known as a "West Side cowboy" or "Tenth Avenue cowboy" who gave notice of its approach by blowing a horn.[5][6][7][8] However, so many accidents occurred between freight trains and other traffic that the nickname "Death Avenue" was given to both Tenth[8][9] and Eleventh Avenues.[10]
Public debate about the hazard began during the early 1900s.[11] In 1929, the city, the state, and New York Central agreed on the West Side Improvement Project,[12] conceived by Robert Moses.[13] The 13-mile (21 km) project eliminated 105 street-level railroad crossings and added 32 acres (13 ha) to Riverside Park; it also included construction of the West Side Elevated Highway. It cost more than $150 million (about $2 billion in 2017 dollars).[14]
The part of Tenth Avenue north of West 59th Street was renamed "Amsterdam Avenue" in 1890 at the request of local merchants seeking to distance themselves from "Death Avenue" and to increase the value of their properties in an area that had yet to "catch on".[15] The name was intended to recall the Dutch roots of Manhattan's earliest colonization in the 17th century, when the city was known as New Amsterdam. They hoped that the area would become a "the New City" and a "new, New Amsterdam".[16] The Board of Alderman approved the name change, but only after first considering "Holland Avenue"; the change was made just before the vote on the resolution. In their approval, the Board noted that other name changes in the area – such as that of Eleventh Avenue to "West End Avenue" – had "a marked and beneficial effect on property", and said that they held such name changes "as second in importance only to the advantages of increased rapid transit."[17]
The Fort George Amusement Park, now a seating area in Highbridge Park, was located at the northern end of Amsterdam Avenue from 1895 to 1914.[18]
Tenth Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue were converted to carry one-way traffic northbound in two stages. South of its intersection with Broadway, the avenue was converted on November 6, 1948.[19][20] The remainder, to 110th Street, was converted on December 6, 1951.[21] Amsterdam Avenue continues to carry two-way traffic north of 110th Street.
During the real estate boom of the late 20th century, Amsterdam Avenue from roughly 59th Street to 96th Street became one of the city's most expensive residential districts.
14th Street History
The street was designated by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 as the southernmost of 15 east–west streets that would be 100 feet (30 m) in width (while other streets were designated as 60 feet (18 m) wide) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Street_(Manhattan)
Petite histoire de la rue Bagg
C'est le 26 novembre 1889 que cette rue du Plateau Mont-Royal fut désignée. Elle est situ/e entre le boulevard Saint-Laurent et la rue Saint-Urbain.
Elle a été cédée par Robert Stanley Bagg (1848?-1912), le fils et héritier de Stanley Clark Bagg. La famille Bagg constitue un exemple particulièrement représentatif de cette grande bourgeoisie canadienne d'origine britannique, grande propriétaire foncière, engagée socialement et politiquement. Celui que l'on considère, au XIXe siècle être le plus grand propriétaire terrien de l'île de Montréal après les Sulpiciens ouvre à quelques reprises ses terres pour y tracer des voies publiques qui rendent compte de cette origine dans leur dénomination.

Petite histoire de la rue Saint-Hubert
Cette rue traverse la ville au complet, du nord au sud, de la rue de la Commune à Goin. Elle aurait été nommée d'après Hubert-Joseph Lacroix, celui qui initialement céda le terrain pour l'ouverture de cette voie. Elle aurait été nommée en 1826.
Petite histoire de la rue Saint-Dominique
La plus ancienne section de cette voie est ouverte, en 1801, au sud de la rue de Maisonneuve actuelle. Prolongée par la suite vers le nord, elle est constituée entre les rues Fairmount et Mozart, de l'ancienne rue Beaubien, située dans l'axe nord-sud, et entre les rues Molière et Jean-Talon, d'une section cédée par Louis Beaubien. Aucun document ne permet cependant de justifier le choix de cette dénomination.
Tiré du livre Ville de Montréal. Les rues de Montréal. Répertoire historique. Montréal: Méridien, 1995.
La partie au nord de Bellechasse était plus large car y circulait un tramway.
La rue Gilford
Cette rue en diagonal est une curiosité dans le Plateau-Mont-Royal. Elle est en fait la partie sud du chemin des carrières qui reliait autrefois de multiples lieux d'extraction de pierre.
La mairesse de Montréal, Valérie Plante, a dévoilé le nouveau nom de la rue Amherst le 21 juin 2019, Journée nationale des peuples autochtones. La rue Amherst à Montréal se défait de son nom controversé et s'appellera désormais « Atateken », un nom mohawk qui rend hommage à l'héritage autochtone de la ville.
LEXINGTON
The Lexington Avenue and Irving Place story began in 1832 when Samuel Ruggles, a lawyer and real-estate developer, petitioned the New York State Legislature to approve the creation of a new north/south avenue between the existing Third and Fourth Avenues, between 14th and 30th Streets. Ruggles had purchased land in the area, and was developing it as a planned community of townhouses around a private park, which he called Gramercy Park. He was also developing property around the planned Union Square, and wanted the new road to improve the value of these tracts. The legislation was approved, and, as the owner of most of the land along the route of the new street, Ruggles was assessed for the majority of its cost. Ruggles named the southern section, below 20th Street, which opened in 1833, after his friend Washington Irving. The northern section, which opened three years later, in 1836, was named after the Battle of Lexington in the Revolutionary War.
