Kirkwood

St. Louis neighborhood

Kirkwood is a place name appearing across the United States—cities and neighborhoods in Missouri, California, Delaware, and elsewhere.

The Kirkwood gap refers to regions in the asteroid belt with depleted populations, named for astronomer Daniel Kirkwood who explained them.

As a surname, it remains moderately common: The Kirkwoods moved here from Atlanta.
