Middle Street, Georgetown

In 1807 Thomas Cumming bought the La Bourgade parcel of land and renamed it Plantation La Bourgade Cummingsburg. Cummingsburg had fresh water reservoirs containing fishes and lilies. Middle Street was named because it was the middle dam of Plantation La Bourgade. These water reservoirs were later filled-in to provide walkways.
