found: A farm family on Long Island's north fork, 2024:CIP galley (In the early nineteenth century, the community along North Road gradually took on the name Northville; When the increasingly prosperous community wanted its own post office in 1838, to avoid confusion with the upstate village of the same name, they chose to use the address “Success;” After the road became Sound Avenue to accommodate the new RFD route in 1899, both the church and the community soon followed along; When the inhabitants decided to incorporate as a village in 1920, they became the “Village of Sound Avenue”--probably the only village in the state ever named after a road. However, in a typically schizophrenic move, voters formally changed its name back to Northville shortly before becoming the only village to unincorporate in 1929)
