Many places In England are named after Queen Victoria because she was the reigning Monarch during the Industrial revolution. During her reign things like the Great Exhibition (The Crystal Palace), the railways etc. were built. Also, she ruled the British Empire and was self-proclaimed Indian Empress. It's similar to schools named after Presidents etc. in America.
