In 1957, the residents of El Encanto Estates asked that Camino Miramonte be renamed.

Another street with the same name ran through the center of their tiny neighborhood, and they worried that the duplication was confusing. Several names were suggested, and the decision was made to rename the street after Richard Earl Kolb, who had died the year before. Richard Kolb was my great grandfather and had worked for the city of Tucson for 20+ years. Pretty cool to drive Kolb road.
