The Fort William street grid was originally laid out starting from the intersection of Frederica and Edward Streets, in present-day Westfort. Edward acted as the divider for the east and west sections of the town, with addresses on the east-west streets starting from 100. The north-south streets had address numbers that decreased further north, eventually reaching 0 at the site of Victoria Avenue, where addresses would then start over at 100. When the new settlement further down the Kaministiqua River was created at Victoria and Simpson Street, every street that crossed Edward was given east and west sections, like Arthur Street. Addresses decreased from 2830 while proceeding east of Edward Street, and the west sections started at 100.
