How did DEPRADINE STREET got its name?

Since the victory of our local hero, King Kirani James, there has been call for the renaming of the main street in Gouyave. Does anyone here have an idea how did you get Depradine Street? I made some inquiries and came up with some very interesting facts.

Let me hear from you what you know!
