New Charlie Kirk Way Street Signs Unveiled in California City

Westminster officials say the ceremonial rename is the first in the country and will not change street addresses, despite protests and praise.

  • On Tuesday, Westminster Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen unveiled new 'Charlie Kirk Way' street signs near the city's Civic Center, replacing a section of All American Way between Westminster Boulevard and 13th Street.
  • The Westminster City Council approved the renaming in a 4-1 vote last fall, honoring activist Kirk, who was fatally shot in Utah on September 10, 2025.
  • Officials clarified the designation is honorary, meaning local addresses remain unchanged. Some signs feature only the new name, while others display 'Charlie Kirk Way' in smaller type beneath All American Way.
  • Residents expressed mixed reactions to the installation. Westminster resident Terry Rains organized a protest, arguing the original name 'welcomes everyone' into the city's public buildings.
  • Mayor Nguyen also pushed to designate October 14 as 'Charlie Kirk Day' and defended the signs as non-political. "I'm not saying that Charlie Kirk is a Republican or Democrat," Nguyen said, emphasizing Kirk's dedication to the country.
