U


University Woods
Origin probably descriptive.

Uplands Place
Named after the Uplands subdivision.
Uplands Place is a cul-de-sac created about 1956 to service four medium-size lots created from two large-size lots

Uplands Road
Named after the Uplands subdivision.

Upper Terrace Road
Origin uncertain, probably descriptive, as the streets in the Uplands subdivision were originally laid out to harmonize with the natural contours of the lansdcape, or possibly after several so-named locations in England.

"There has been some discussion over the years about whether the street is Upper Terrace or Upper Terrace Road.
Using Road seemed to be redundant. On assessment records some of the houses are listed as Road, others Terrace.
I have been here 50 years."
