| Neighborhood | Greenfield |
| McKee Street (until 1901) | |
| Origin of name | Maiden name of Elizabeth M. Yoder, who laid out the street |
| Marshall Street (1901–1910) | |
This street was originally laid out as McKee Street in two plans of lots by Elizabeth M. Yoder, recorded in 1886 and 1891.[1][2][3] McKee was Yoder's maiden name; she was the daughter of William McKee.[4][5] McKee's homestead here appears on an 1862 map.[6]
In the early 20th century the street was renamed several times. In 1901 a city ordinance changed McKee Street to Marshall Street.[7] Then in 1910 another ordinance changed Marshall Street to Musgrave Street.[8] In 1911 an ordinance claimed to rename McKee Street to Milwood Street,[9] but presumably, since McKee Street hadn't existed for ten years, this particular renaming had no effect.
