Uniqueness
editThe street, which replaces what would otherwise be 68th Street,[citation needed] is named for New York State Senator Henry Cruse Murphy,[3][4][5] who also held other elected positions.[6][7]
As with the name Brooklyn,[8][circular reference] this is not the only Senator Street in the United States.[9]
