| Vinden or Vindin Street, Midland, Ontario |
| The street appears as Vinden Street or Vindin Street,
depending on the source. Chris Vinden enquired about the origin
of the name, and received the following reply: According to the book Midland's Guide to Living on Easy Street: The People, Places and Events that influences the naming of our Streets, "Vindin Street was named after David Vindin, a shareholder in the Midland Railroad Corporation along with Adolph von Hugel and George Cox and can be found on Plan 582 'A' dated 1912." Hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Tracy Leonard, Huronia Museum |
