Why do you park in a driveway but drive on a parkway?

both of these words were created and used way before the invention or idea of the automobile.

Explanation:

The main reason for these two words being used in the way that they are used in the modern world is that both of these words were created and used way before the invention or idea of the automobile.

Driveway was the first word to be used (Early 1800's) and referred to the piece of land next to a house in which people would pull up with their wagons in order to off-load any products that they needed to get into the house.

While Parkways referred to a wide road in a park in which many people could walk through at the same time. As time went by, these words were appropriated with similar modern day uses.
