Passing by the Rip Van Winkle Bridge the other day, it made me wonder…what other roads, bridges, etc. are named for fictional characters?
(Publicly-controlled facilities only—for obvious reasons, let's exclude places like the Disney parks.)
One obvious sub-category will be streets and developments with names taken from legendary figures like Robin Hood, King Arthur and so on, who may or may not be real persons, but who are clearly so fictionalized as to be essentially fictional.
I will stay away from Las Vegas, Orlando, and Anaheim. Those who wish to grab low-hanging fruit may wish to explore a street index of those cities.
Scotts Valley, CA has "Santa's Village Rd"
Rachel, NV has "The Extraterrestrial Highway"
The three states of California (two in Mexico, one in US) are all named after a mythical character.
