What’s in a Name? Generally speaking, all kinds of history! One of the projects sponsored by Snohomish County last year involved collecting the names and histories of some of the designated “County Corners”. Many of the names are familiar, but are being used less and less as we get more deeply committed to our numbered roads and streets. Keeler’s Corner, Cavalero’s Corner, Speakers Corner, and other names are familiar to many of us, but in most cases, they no longer appear on maps. Since the Granite Falls Museum maintains a historical mapping system that allows us to overlay things like aerial photographs, property lines, old railroad maps, and other items onto a collection of maps from 1910, 1927, 1934, etc., we decided to incorporate the newly-assembled collection of “corners” into the system. At the County level, it looks something like this: Simply by clicking on the “zoom” button, we can zoom into any one of them, and in this case I zoomed into Cavalero’s Corner, to see if I could identify the source of its name. Another click turned on the maps from 1910. You can see the property owner appears to be one Dominico Cavilgieri . . . surprisingly similar to the name Cavalero! , OCR Text: What’s in a Name?
