Default Kinney & Ajo
Does any of you good people have any old west stories from the Kinney & Ajo area? Perhaps someone can tell me where these roads got their names from?

Kevin J is on a distinguished road
Well, I'm sure that Ajo Road was named for the town of Ajo, which is where the road leads. Ajo means garlic in Spanish. I assume that the town was named Ajo either because there was wild garlic growing nearby or the settlers started growing it there.

I don't know anything about the origins of the Kinney name.
