AVALON  BEACH  CLEAN-UP

For those in the neighborhood who are always wondering where we got the weird names for our streets, here is the straight scoop.  There are 6 Street names in the neighborhood, all associated with King Arthur's Round Table.  The names Avalon Beach Estates and Avalon Boulevard are derived from the legendary place where King Arthur's sword, Excalibur was forged and where he received it from the "Lady of the Lake."  In the Welsh language, Avalon means "Isle of the Apples."  The five other streets, cul-de-sac's in the neighborhood, Ballamore, Paginet, Alcolon, Tristam and Sagris were all named for five of the twelve knights of Arthur's Round Table.

Note:Thanks for Sherry and Jim McDaniel for the research on the streets of Avalon.  This information placed under the About US menu running across the top of the home page.
