Honestly, it just doesn't make sense to me either. Nearly every street or place is named after people who did bad things when compared to the expectations of today.

Even Brant country, Brant Street and Brantford and the Museum of Joseph Brant are named and focus on the indigenous man who has a similarly marred past.
