This pocket sits on the north side of the City of Wyoming, just southwest of Grand Rapids, and takes its name from one leg of the old GUB — Galewood, Urbandale, and Burlingame, three adjacent neighborhoods that grew up together in the early 1900s. The name reaches back further than that: north Wyoming's story starts in 1841, when West Michigan's first plaster quarry opened along Plaster Creek. Interurban electric trains arrived in 1901 and 1915, a refrigerator plant opened in 1908, and the factories along Godfrey and Grandville Avenues drew in workers who filled out these grid streets with houses. The platted core here — Nanninga & Setsma's Addition, a small run of streets like Aldon, DeHoop, and Tennyson near Clyde Park Avenue — sits at the southwest edge of the broader Urbandale that locals map between Hall Street, 28th Street, Burlingame, and Clyde Park. Treat the name as the best-fit label for this corner rather than a surveyed line.
