Jalan Lumba Kuda, Ayer Itam

Jalan Lumba Kuda, Ayer Itam, Penang (17 March 2021)


Jalan Lumba Kuda is a major road in the Batu Gantong neighbourhood of George Town, Penang. The road developed out of a former country path that connects Jalan Batu Gantong to Jalan Air Itam. Jalan Lumba Kuda can be regarded as the boundary between George Town on its east side, from Ayer Itam on its west side.

In the early days, it was just a nameless path through the Chinese settlement in the area, but over time, became a proper road, and was given the name in the early 1970s when the area was developed with landed properties.

Even today there are still country-style rural houses on undeveloped parts of Jalan Lumba Kuda, alternating with more recent housing development.
