[MassHistPres] Names of Streets

[Dcolebslade at aol.com]

We are interested in learning if there are policies in towns around  
Massachusetts as to naming new streets which are public ways and accepted by the  
town.  Do towns (say through the Planning Board) have a list of acceptable  
names or do the applicants have to submit a name for approval? Or can  the 
applicant name streets as they like?   The purpose of these  questions is to 
find out if it would be possible for the relevant town body to  suggest or 
require that names representing more relevant aspects of the history  of the 
town be chosen.
