message: Webb Street predates Stephen Palfrey Webb's 1853 arrival in San Francisco and could not possibly have been named after him. You can find references to Webb Street in 1850 editions of the Daily Alta California, and here's an ordinance for the paving and grading of Webb Street in 1850.
There is a Webb Place which starts to crop up in maps and newspaper articles by 1900, and perhaps that is what is being referenced?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sleepcarprotein (talk • contribs) 21:42, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
