On July 4, 1972, the city renamed Garden Boulevard
MacArthur Boulevard. Top photo, Mayor Walter Wiley
reads the proclamation to John D. MacArthur. Above,
the street sign at the intersection of Northlake Boulevard
is revealed. In a July 2, 1973, letter to Mayor Wiley,
MacArthur stated: “I had no interest in having a street
named after me or I would have done so when I named
all the streets. I am not a shrinking violet and am proud
of the city’s skeleton which I built. I think, if the future
generations will approve of the original concept and wish
to recognize and perpetuate the memory of the founder,
I will be proud.”
