His route soon began to be called Chubb Road (and, briefly, Hiscock's Road and Osborne Road). Later Chubb was inspired to seek office, becoming Ann Arbor Township supervisor in 1831 and then a representative in the 1846 and 1847 state legislatures. You'd think his public service would have kept the name going, but in 1927 it was changed to Sunset Road. (At least it's on the sunset side of town, which is more than you can say for Sunrise Court; located off Miller on the northwest side, it was called Dawn on the 1931 Sanborn fire insurance map.) Chubb Road descended treacherously to Main, but that section was discontinued when the Toledo and Ann Arbor Railroad was built along the escarpment."<br /><br />— http://aaobserver.aadl.org/aaobserver/19282Chris Dzombakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11611185924369200565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2281014352729737607.post-74398756756139693142014-10-16T10:32:18.440-04:002014-10-16T10:32:18.440-04:00On the historic aerial map of Ann Arbor, there is ...On the historic aerial map of Ann Arbor, there is a Chub St...
