This street has a quirky history. Although it was shown on the developer's plans in 1931 as a road going from the northern to the southern side of Hillair Circle, it hadn't yet been started when it was the subject of a law suit in 1962, when the city wanted to accept the dedication of the road as public. The court ruled the fact that it was on an approved map meant it could be accepted at any time. However, it seemingly wasn't actually accepted until 1966. Various parts of the paper road were discontinued between 1984 and 2014, while the current portion, which goes north-northwest from Paddock Rd. past Rolling Ridge Rd., got houses in 1995, and the bed of the road was deeded to the city in 2001. Its name comes from its location in the middle of Hillair Circle.

AuthorMy name is Cliff Blau. I was born and raised in White Plains, NY, and in 2015 became interested in learning more about the history of this fair city. The pathway I took into White Plains history was to discover the reason for the names of each of the streets.
