Ronald Reagan (1911–2004)

Ronald Reagan (1911–2004) was an American politician who served as president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Many places both within and outside the United States have been named after Reagan.

The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project is an organization founded by Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist that seeks to name at least one notable public landmark in each U.S. state and all 3067 counties after Reagan.[1][2][3]

The first highway to be named after Reagan was Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway in Cincinnati.[4][5]
