Madison Street is named after James Madison (born in Port Conway, Virginia on March 16, 1751; died June 28, 1836), who was the fourth President of the United States and one of the founding fathers of the United States.
Macon was considered to be the “Father of the Constitution” because he was the primary author, and he also wrote over a third of the Federalist Papers.
As Secretary of State in President Thomas Jefferson’s administration, he supervised the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the United States, and as President he led the nation into the War of 1812.
When Madison left office in 1817, he retired to his tobacco plantation, Montpelier, which had over 100 slaves.
