This is now presented to complete the story, and especially to answer a query we received relative to the name Broadway. The level land between Walnut and Quarry hills was in olden time called Sorrelly plain. At the foot of Quarry hill was the Medford road to Cambridge, now known as Harvard street in Medford (named Cambridge street in 1829), and as Warner street in Somerville, and after crossing Broadway, as College avenue. We have been recently asked if Broadway was always known thus. We reply No. The earliest name we know of is Menotomie's rode, or road to Menotomy, in varieties of spelling.
