Street names

Names of streets are numbered in some communities. Systematically in Manhattan, New York City, NY State, USA e.g. 42nd Street (west–east), Fifth Avenue (south–north); only Dritter Südgürtel (Third South Ring) in Graz; 1. Straße (and so on) since 1966 – after a visit to New York – in Kematen an der Ybbs, Austria.

In Graz (A) exist further Dreihackengasse (three axes), Dreierschützengasse (3 shooters (?), after a historical military unit) and Siebenundvierzigergasse (47ers, a military unit). In the surrounding of Linz, Austria still exist some of the numbered towers, ancient ammunition / powder depots like Zwanzigerturm (tower #20).

In Klagenfurt (and elsewhere) streetnames remember historical dates by day and month like 10.-Oktober-Straße.

First Nations in Canada

Graveyard at Child Lake 164A, Canada

In Canada it is customary to call indigenous communities, reserves and tribes, "First Nations" or Premières Nations, an element which is common in place names. It is also common to combined the names of reserves with numbers such as the Long Lake 58 First Nation and Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. In the list of Indian reserves in Saskatchewan, we can see over seven hundred place names, many of which have numeric and alphanumeric codes attached to them.
