Montana Ave – First mentioned in The Press in 1929. First appears in street directories in 1946.
Not much information from the library website. I searched Papers Past and couldn’t find much. The only information I could find was that the road was going to have roadworks in 1929. It is possibly named after the US state Montana which in turn is named from the Spanish word meaning mountain.
This street in Ilam is next to the University and it had some nice houses but the only photos I got were of an interesting Art Deco looking house.
