“Court” is one of many common suffixes used to describe streets or roads. It likely derived from a term that referred to an open-air interior space hemmed-in by the walls of a large building such as a castle, as in a courtyard. Generally, not always, a road appended with court denotes a very short non-connecting stub that terminates either with a dead end or a cul-de-sac. It mimics a courtyard, an open area surrounded by buildings. This generated all sorts of opportunities for creativity or mischief in the minds those naming streets in residential areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
