Clinton River Shore Street

[mtburb]

Here's the place to discuss the famous Clinton River Shore Street name that used to pop up on very random roads throughout southeast Michigan on older computer mapping programs [[and on current ones, to a lesser extent).

How did this name come into existence and when was it first used?

I've found it in Google Maps randomly where it doesn't really belong. Almost like it's some kind of default name. Here's an example in Auburn Hills - https://www.google.com/maps/@42.622135,-83.241498,20z
