Named, according to the author's reading of the evidence, for Charles Cook, who owned and allotted land here around 1900, not for later Mayor B. M. Cook.

The area held the quarry that supplied stone for Detroit Avenue stone houses in the early 1830s, so the author thinks 'Quarry Avenue' would have fit. Many wondered if it honored B. M. Cook, mayor in 1918, but Charles Cook, who allotted land when the street was cut, is the likely source.

Named for

Charles Cook. Landowner who allotted the Cook Avenue area about 1900.
