Why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

Why is a parkway called a parkway if you drive on it, and a driveway called a driveway if you park in it?

  • I've always wondered why the road is sometimes called a parkway if you drive on it, and why a driveway is called a driveway if you park on it... Weird huh?
