This is a list of Norwood streets, past and present. It was developed from research of maps, books and other documents. As this section develops, you will be able to click on a name, and be taken to a page for that street. There you will find the origin of the name, other names the street may have had, a description of the street and its location, a map locating the street, and other historical information about the street, such as who lived there and events that occurred on that street.

The names of the streets of Norwood have many origins. The streets were often named after specific individuals, such as early American Presidents — Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe; notable Norwood pioneers, citizens and developers, e.g., Baker, Bennett, Cleneay, Crosley, Dacey, Feldman, Foraker, Hopkins, Sanker, Langdon, Leslie, Lloyd, McNeill, Weyer; or relatives and friends of real estate developers, e.g. Allison, Franklin and Waltella. Several streets were named after trees — Ash, Beech, Cypress, Elm, Linden, Locust, Maple, Oak, Pine, Poplar, Sycamore, or groups of trees — Orchard and Forest. Finding the origin of a street's name is a continuing effort, since the reasons for the names of many streets are often hidden in "lost" records, or the minds of long dead developers.

Some streets have had more than one name and others may have been called "street" or "avenue," or even had different spellings, in various documents. If it is clear that it is the same street, only one is listed with the alternate ending or spelling in parentheses.

According to the 1917-18 Williams Norwood Directory, some streets did not have any buildings. Therefore, any house located on those streets had to have been built after 1916. For a list of those streets click here.
