The Munros were a family of shipbuilders and sea captains. Hector Munro (1818-1884), a pioneer settler of Gibraltar, came from Scotland to this waterfront community with his family in 1875 to work in the shipyards. All of his sons sailed the family’s schooners. Hector’s youngest son, William Munro (1869-1958), known as Skip, captained the schooner Oak Leaf in the late 1800s. On Dec. 20, 1954, Warsaw Street was officially renamed Munro Avenue as a tribute to the Munro family, and the Gibraltar Municipal Complex is located on Munro Avenue.
