It was known as Stirling (or Sterling) Avenue when started circa 1893. At that time it spanned from Old Mamaroneck Rd. to Ralph Ave. It was extended east to Overlook Rd. circa 1923. In 1932 it was renamed to avoid confusion with the other Sterling Ave. Why the name Stratford was chosen is unknown.

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. See https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1WvlOinVQnWh4KGDmEN7YPFfg4II for an annotated map of White Plains. Archives
