This street was laid out as Forset Place by H. C. Rook and C. H. Chance in 1903.[1] It appears in J. F. Diffenbacher's 1894 directory and in the 1904 and 1910 Hopkins atlases.[2][3][4] This name was often miswritten as Forest Place,[5][6] including in the 1915 city ordinance that renamed it Virgila Place.[7][8]
