Many streets in Racine have been renamed over the years. This topic comes up often enough during Racine history conversations and research that I decided to dedicate a page to streets that have been renamed.

• What we now know as Wisconsin Avenue was originally called Wisconsin Street until about 1908 or so and then was called South Wisconsin Avenue. (Dennis Tully)
• College Avenue used to be Barnstable Street and also Pearl Street.
• North Memorial was Forest Street from Liberty Street to Yout Street. At one time Forest was also between Layard and Romayne. (Matt Sisak)
