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

Why is a parkway called a parkway called a parkway when you drive on it, and why is a driveway called a driveway when you park on it?

  • Answer:

    Very good question! Maybe because a parkway is the "way" to where you park, and a driveway is a "way" to where you drive.
