    [Westmoreland Circle] opened in 1932, the same year that the Loughborough Development Co. started building houses on the northern side, in Montgomery County. (English)
    The circle apparently takes its name not from a statesman or general, but from that development: Westmoreland Hills. And that development seems to have taken its name from Westmoreland County in Virginia, the state where Florence Wetherell Walker, the wife of Loughborough’s president, Albert Walker, was raised.
