This east-west roadway (Southwest 120th Street) is named after Colonel Robert Montgomery - the founder of Fairchild Tropical Garden. Colonel Montgomery was an attorney, accountant and author. Colonel Montgomery and his wife, Nell, had an avid interest in collecting palms and eventually, in 1938, donated the first eighty-three acres of land for Fairchild Tropical Gardens as well as monies for developing the plant collections.
