OK, I just did some research.  Toontown Fair (or to give it's 
full name, Mickey's Toontown Fair) was opened in 1996.  Before
then, that little corner of the Magic Kingdom was occupied by a 
land called Mickey's Starland.  I suppose the Cornelius Coot
statue was already in Starland, and was just moved and given a 
new base when Toontown Fair was built...

No, there is no street sign saying that anywhere now, unless I 
missed it somehow (I've spent a lot of time in Disney World this 
year...)
