How did Madison square garden get named?

Answer 1

"Madison Square Garden derives its name from the park where the first two gardens were located (Madison Square) on Madison Avenue at 26th Street. As the venue moved to new locations the name still stuck. Madison Square Garden From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, known colloquially simply as The Garden, has been the name of four arenas in New York City, United States. It is also the name of the entity which owns the arena and several of the professional sports franchises which play there. There have been four incarnations of the arena. The first two were located at Madison Square, thus the name. Subsequently a new 20,000-seat Garden was built at 50th Street and 8th Avenue, and the current Garden is at 7th Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets, situated on top of Pennsylvania Station. The present arena is informally known to some by its advertising slogan, "The World's Most Famous Arena". The arena lends its name to the Madison Square Garden Network, a Cable Television network that broadcasts most sporting events that are held in the Garden, as well as concerts and entertainment events that have taken place at the venue."
