Even though it was incorporated in 1911, the town of Carrboro did not have complete street names nor numbered residential addresses until 1920. Upon the completion of this civic task, The Daily Tar Heel proclaimed in celebration:

"...should we not render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and thanks and gratitude where thanks and gratitude are due? We who pride ourselves on our own knowledge and wisdom should be really and truly thankful that we no longer have to accost some patriarch whom we see on the highways and bi-ways of Carrboro, and say in a voice trembling with apprehension and emotion: "Say, mister, can you tell me where a young lady named Miss Susie Snodgrass lives?"
