Neptune is the street's namesake and same for the twine and cord mill, having manufactured rope for sailing ships back in the 1800s.

Neptunalia, being celebrated today by not very many these days:

The ghost town of Johnsonville, a period village at Neptune mills just outside Moodus.  It's not maintained for visitors, but perhaps someday.
