History
Newberry Boulevard was the first in what was meant to be a series of boulevards that would connect the city's parks, a project that was never completed. However, the early history of the street lacked uniformity in planning. The parts of four subdivisions, platted between 1888 and 1894, make up the boulevard. Caspar, Donohue, and Hoff's subdivision, which included two blocks at the western end of the boulevard, from Oakland Avenue to Murray Avenue, with the plat map recorded on August 7, 1888, including what was then Newberry Street. The Maryland Park subdivision, which included the two-block stretch from Murray to Maryland Avenue, was platted in 1889. The Prospect Hill subdivision, which included the four blocks from Downer Avenue to Lake Drive, was recorded on February 3, 1893. Edmund Cummings's Newberry Boulevard Addition, from Maryland to Downer, was the last section to be platted, on July 31, 1894.[4]
