Good evening. I was doing some unrelated research on Alamosa and Mosca,
Colorado and came across reference to Mosca previously (1888-1890) being
known as Streator.
While I no longer live there, I was born and raised in Streator, Illinois.
This town was incorporated in 1868 and named after industrialist Dr.
Worthy L. Streator. (It had been previously named Unionville and
Hardscrabble).
As the spellings are identical, it seems possible that the two communities
might have been named after the same individual. Do you have any
information/insight as to the origin of the name Streator, Colorado?
Thanks,
Norman Onnen
