In this episode of the Street Names Series, we explore the origin of Galveston's alphabetical half streets and their unique history. As the city expanded, large outlots were divided into smaller lots, requiring new streets, which led to the creation of half streets like Avenue N ½. We also cover the renaming of several streets to honor prominent figures like Fox Winnie, George Ball, and John Sealy.
