Okay, so I was messing around online, and I got curious about the longest street name in the US. You know, just one of those random thoughts that pop into your head. So, I started digging.
My Little Research Adventure
First, I just did a simple search. You know, typed in “longest street name in US” and hoped for the best. I got a bunch of random results, some forum posts, some blog articles, nothing too definitive.
Then I thought, “Hey, maybe there’s some official list somewhere?” No such luck. It’s not like there’s a government agency dedicated to tracking street name lengths (though that would be a pretty funny job).
Getting Down to Business
I started to notice a few names popping up repeatedly. Stuff like “Northeast Kentucky Industrial Parkway” and “Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport Access Road.” Seemed like those long, descriptive names were a good bet. I figured it was probably some kind of access road, you know, the ones that are basically just telling you where they go.
So, I started focusing my search on those. I used a few different search variations. It’s tough, though, because you get all kinds of weird results.
The “Winner” (Maybe?)
I started seeing the “Jean Baptiste Point du Sable Lake Shore Drive” in Chicago mentioned a lot.
It keeps show up in search results.
My Takeaway
Honestly, finding the absolute longest street name is pretty tough. There’s no official record, so it’s all about digging through websites and hoping you find something consistent. But for now, “Jean Baptiste Point du Sable Lake Shore Drive” is my best guess. It’s a mouthful, that’s for sure!
If any of you find something longer, let me know! I’m always up for a good internet rabbit hole.
