In 1935, section between the east end of Causeway Bay Road in Causeway Bay and Tai Kat Street near the East Gate of Taikoo Dockyard (present-day Taikoo Shing) was renamed to King's Road for the silver jubilee of the ascendent of George V of the United Kingdom. At the same time, the section from the junction of Causeway Bay Road and King's Road to Power Street was renamed as Electric Road while the section between King's Road and Electric Road as Tung Lo Wan Road.
