O.W. Silvey, head of Physics Dept. at A &M developed that street and when the City
asked him what he wanted to name it, he named it after Sir Isaac Newton. When Silvey

For a while it was Silvey Street. So you'll see it both ways on the map. The post office
still calls it Silvey. About three years ago (1995) the City came along and said it had to
be one or the other. Bill told the City the story, and it was officially changed to Newton.
