		It should be spelt Marven Gardens, which is the name of the place in Margate City, Atlantic County.

	snarkout: the king of marvin gardens
		Monopoly was, as the Parker Brothers' history has it, the creation of an out of work salesman from Germantown, Pennsylvania, named Charles Darrow.
		Darrow was not a native of Atlantic City, and so it's entirely plausible that he got the name of Marven Gardens wrong.
		The defense seems legally shaky, but the facts are less so; the spelling of "Marvin Gardens" seems to be consistant (link via Crooked Timber) with another game, a version of "The Landlord's Game".

		Officially, Monopoly was invented in 1933 by an unemployed salesman, Charles Darrow, who drew the first board on his kitchen table-cloth.
		Square names were apparently based on Darrow’s childhood memories of Atlantic City, hence the famously misspelled name of ‘Marvin Gardens’ (a formal apology was issued to the residents of Marven Gardens in 1995).
		In 1934 Darrow offered the game to a leading entertainment company, Parker Bros, which rejected the prototype because it apparently contained "fifty-two fundamental errors".
