Historic Street Names
Moline streets were originally named for people and places, including presidents and early local settlers and community leaders. The current numbering system was introduced in 1883, during which time new streets were constructed between old ones, thus giving birth to 1/2 streets, such as Twenty-Second 1/2 Street. New Avenues were denoted by letters, such as Eighteenth Avenue C.
