History
Most of the roads built and declared at the outset in Colonial Hong Kong in 1841 were quite close to the waterline. The Magistracy was not establlished until 1847 and the land on which it was built was more or less unoccupied. Arbuthnot Road is rather steep and inclined, and runs between Hollywood Road and Caine Road, which was not named until 1859. It is likely that it was not named or created until the 1850s or later; it was named after George Arbuthnot.[2] Flag of colonial Hong Kong, a Blue Ensign with the colonys coat of arms. ...
