Who founded Nathan Road?

Nathan Road was built by British engineers as early as the summer of 1860. It turns out that before the signing of the Beijing Treaty between China and Britain, the Kowloon Peninsula was leased to Hong Kong and Britain by the then Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lao Rongguang, at the annual price of 500 yuan. Nathan Road was originally named Robinson Road to commemorate Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of Kowloon Peninsula, who took over at 3 pm on June186165438+1October 19. 1887 Nathan Road (then Robinson Road) only extends to Middle Road in the south and Austin Road in the north. 1904, the Governor Sir Milton made great efforts to develop the Kowloon Peninsula. In order to make the British section of Kowloon-Canton Railway develop more actively, Nathan Road was widened into a main street and extended to Waterloo Road. March 1909, 19 In order to avoid confusion between this road and the street of the same name on Hong Kong Island in China, Hong Kong, China * * * decided to rename this road Nathan Road in memory of Sir Milton, the governor who expanded this road. 19 1 1 year, British Crown Prince George V was crowned king. To commemorate this event, China named the newly completed new road from Waterloo Road to Argyle Street "Coronation Road". 1926, Coronation Road extends to Boundary Street, and China decided to merge Coronation Road and Nathan Road into Nathan Road. When Nathan Road was first widened into a six-lane road with trees planted on both sides, Kowloon Peninsula was still a sparsely populated area. At that time, people called Nathan's Foo stupid. But the facts proved Sir Milton's foresight. Before1960s, Nathan Road was a boulevard. Later, most of the trees were sawed off because they blocked the double-decker bus. At present, only a small part of Kowloon Park still retains the big trees planted that year.

Nathan Road used to be Robinson Road, because there is also a street name with the same name in the Mid-levels of Hong Kong Island. In order to avoid public confusion, Hong Kong English intends to change its name; At that time, Sir Nathan Road, the Governor of Hong Kong (serving time: 1904- 1907), just left office, so he took the boat away and renamed it Nathan Road, Robinson Road. Sir Milton is the governor who succeeded Sir Bly (1898- 1904). He is a single engineer and the only governor without a spouse. Sir Milton's greatest contribution was to build the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway during his term of office. Since the middle and late 20th century, Nathan Road has become one of the most important streets in Kowloon Peninsula. 2007-04-13131:54 supplement: please copy "* * *" or other network resources! 2007-04-1612: 02: 39 supplement: plagiarism will give you a negative evaluation.
