Memorable Old Columbia, KY: Notes on the alleys and streets To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Jefferson Alley does not have a sign, but needs one, I think. The originalalley names were of U.S. presidents, except for Pinckney. What is now Reed Street was originally named Pinckney, who it seems was given acclaim along with others in the federal government by the founders of Columbia. They seemed to be aware of the national scene. Thomas Pinckney, a federal diplomat and statesman from South Carolina, was able to negotiate with Spain, which controlled the Mississippi and port of New Orleans, a treaty guaranteeing navigation on the Mississippi River with access to the port. This was a tremendous economic advantage for Kentucky for trading with the east. The treaty meant products did not need to go overland across mountains, but could go by rivers. According to Ruth Burdette's booklet, Early Columbia, p. 4, the alleys were only 12 feet wide, the streets leading into the square were 60 feet wide, and the secondary streets were 33 feet wide. -Yvonne Kolbenschlag This story was posted on 2009-07-29 13:15:43
