| Columbia-Elizabeth-Famous
COLUMBIA AVENUE (E-W). As one name of the United States of America,
Columbia is a popular American place name. Its use originated the poem,
"American Liberty," written in 1775 by Philip Freneau inspired when he heard
of the Battle of Lexington when Boston still lay under siege. Freneau's
lines ran,
What madness, Heaven, has made Britannia frown?
Who plans or schemes to pull Columbia down?
Then, lest his allusion not be understood, Freneau added a footnote which
read, "Columbia, America sometimes so called from Columbus, the first
discoverer." In Missouri Columbia became the county seat of Boone County in
1819. Columbia Avenue was originally platted in the 1871 subdivision of St.
Louis Heights. Sections of this street were known as Magnolia and Manchester
avenues until 1881. (Clifton) (The Hill)
ELIZABETH AVENUE (E-W). Originally appeared on St. Louis street maps
in 1878 in the subdivisions of property of Gabriel Jones and others.
Elizabeth traces its origin to the Hebrew Elisheba, "possibly `oath of God'
or `God is satisfaction/perfection'." In the Biblical Old Testament, the
Book of Exodus, Elizabeth was the wife of Aaron. (Clifton)
FAMOUS AVENUE (E-W). Platted in the Ritter Place
Subdivision of 1887 and named after the Famous Shoe and Clothing Company.
