How Do Roads Get Their Names? In Upper St. Clair, like in many communities, road names are frequently connected to local people. As time passes, the road remains but memories of their namesake fades. Thanks to old photographs, sometimes we can put a few faces with these names. Drake Road runs between South Park and Bethel Church Roads and was named after the Drake family. A. H. Drake worked for John Poellot, who ran a hardware and wagon shop in the Clifton area of Upper St. Clair. Pictured here are Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Drake, along with Myra and Eugene Drake. n
