QUEEN.GEN.1Scope and Content
One of the original streets of the Grand Modell, Queen Street was first called Dock Street after a boat dock that was dug in the swamp that then existed at the present intersection of the street with East Bay. Subsequently, it was renamed Queen Street for Caroline of Ansbach, the consort of George II. At its western end, Queen Street ended at a barricade at the present intersection with Smith Street until 1849, when it was extended through the marsh westward to Rutledge Street. At the same time, Smith Street was extended southward from Beaufain to Queen. (Source: 2011 Tour Guide Training Manual)
