Taken from the NRHP nomination form, "The three oldest streets in Harpers Ferry are Shenadoah Street, Potomac Street and High or Washington Street. All other streets in the town were laid out by the U.S. in 1852 in accordance with a plan conceived and developed by Major John Symington, Superintendant of the Armory. All streets, with the exception of Shenandoah, Potomac and High Streets, were named in 1852 by the Corporate Officials of the Town, in cooperation with the U.S. Government. The streets retain the original names and locations."
