Cable street and Rope walk
Lancaster being a port needed places that could make rigging,
ropes and cables these street were the places they were made.

Cincinnati -- Zig Zag.

"gade" is from Old Nordic "gata" and is in fact related to "gat" which means opening/hole
so it hooks up nicely with "gate" in English which derives from Old English "geat" meaning a way.

In Denmark the suffixes "-gade" and "-vej" are the most common,
"gade" being the "finer" and almost exclusively located in towns which often had gates in some kind of walls
in four directions. That gave us the very common street names:
Nørregade
Østergade
Søndergade
Vestergade
- it should be a breeze for you to translate now.

In my town, they renamed a couple of streets into their old, original names - one of them into:
Kattebjerget - The Cat Mountain
- it's not a mountain, but it does go uphill on a ridge made from melting water from the last ice age
- as to cats .....

- lots of them
- laughing ones ...

Hi Olivia; good to see you after such a long time!

Miwok (Me-wuk) Street and Miwok Village
The central Sierra’s first known inhabitants, the Miwok tribes occupied much of Central California. When Spanish explorers first landed on California soil in the 1500's, there were an estimated 22,000 Miwok Indians in the region.

The Spanish raided Indian villages and enslaved thousands of Indians during the Mission system period (1769-1823). Ancestors of the Tribe told stories of such raids occurring in the Jackson Valley area south of Ione, CA. Between 1820 and 1840, smallpox and other diseases quickly reduced the Indian population.

In 1839, John Sutter established his fort in Sacramento. He followed the Mission practice of capturing and enslaving the Indians. Tribal ancestors also passed down stories of these raids in and around the city of Ione.
In 1848-50, the Gold Rush brought a massive influx of fortune seekers and other settlers to the Sierra foothills, encroaching on the lands inhabited by the Miwok Indians. Many of the traditional hunting and gathering areas were now occupied by these immigrants. This led to disputes and violent and deadly confrontations between the immigrants and Indians, which required military intervention.
The Mariposa Indian War was the most famed Indian encounter with miners in the southern Sierra region and also led to the discovery of Yosemite Valley. In 1849, as gold seekers invaded the country immediately west of the present Yosemite National Park they found one of the more densely populated Indian areas of the state. This was a region where acorns were abundant and game was plentiful below the winter snow line. Unfortunately, gold was also easily found along the numerous mountain streams. At first the Indians welcomed the white man and the goods which could be obtained by trade, but resentment grew as virtually every valley was taken over by the newcomers.
Due to the increase of such confrontations throughout California, the U.S. government negotiated a series of treaties with California tribes in 1851-1852. These treaties ceded lands to the US, but also reserved lands for permanent residence for the Indians. The Miwok negotiated and signed three of these treaties. However, Congress failed to ratify the treaties, which were then hidden from public view until 1905.

The Miwok were the inspiration for George Lucas to create the Ewok creatures in Star Wars.
