...Do NOT know about Village Names...
But Do know about a couple of Street Names...
Example:
..... "O'Dell" Circle......Named for Jack O'Dell.... who used to own the Ranch where the Street meanders..
......"Bailey" Trail........Named for Clyde Bailey....who used to own the Ranch where the street meanders..
BOTH of their families still live in the AREA........ALL VERY nice people.
On the HISTORIC Side ....you have the names ( first and last ) of the Developers' families.
Of course we all know why MORSE Blvd is Morse Blvd.
The "La Reina" Bldg on the Square in Spanish Springs was named to honor Sharon Morse who was considered "The Queen" of the Morse family.
....Lots More......but will let others fill in the blanks.
