Album Info:

Known by our French-Canadian ancestors as "la Main Street," the shopping district was really on ELM Street, which runs through the city in a north-south direction, and it passes directly through the center. It was named ELM Street because of the many elm trees (Ulmus americana) that lined a great portion of the street. The American elm trees typified both the north and south ends of the street, where families liked to build their homes. In 1938, many of the original elms were felled.
