Orleans Street appears in the 1890 Hopkins atlas in what is marked "Watson's Plan,"[1] although it does not appear in the 1888 plan of Watson Place.[2] The lots from the 1888 plan seem to have been subdivided by 1890 and additional streets laid out, including Orleans Street. The 1894 plan of Watson Place, which altered much of the 1888 plan, included Orleans Street and extended it to the south.[3]
