 On July 6, 1824, this section of Orange Street where the town gate once stood was renamed Washington Street.The Washington Street Elevated (the “El”) ran subway trains above Washington Street from 1901 until 1987 when the Orange Line (which inherited the old name of the street) was relocated and the elevated tracks and stations were torn down shortly after the El's April 1987 closure.The Dover Street station was located at the site of the old town gate at the intersection of Dover and Washington Street.
