Formerly Fourth

(Above: Park Avenue at 60th Street, looking north.) Known since the 1830's as Fourth Avenue, it was more than 50 years later that this section of the street was renamed Park Avenue, after the railroad tracks were sunk beneath the street. Only a six-block section, from 8th to 14th Streets, is still called Fourth Avenue today.
