ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Editor’s note: The Journal continues “What’s in a Name?,” a twice a month column in which staff writer Elaine Briseño will give a short history of how places in New Mexico got their names.
An Albuquerque street blanketed by thousands of cars every year fittingly bears the name of a man who owned one of the city’s first motorized vehicles.
A page in the book “Stories Behind the Street Names of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, & Taos” by Donald A. Gill displays a photo of Dr. Eligio Osuna given to the author by the family. (Courtesy University of New Mexico Digital Collection)
