Jalan Esfahan, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Esfahan, Kuala Lumpur (15 June, 2017)


Jalan Esfahan is a minor road in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It is located between Jalan Raja Laut in the west and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in the east.

Jalan Esfahan may have been around since the late 19th century. It was originally known as Straits Road. It is not clear how the road was given that name, probably because it runs through property belonging to the Straits Trading Company. The name was translated to Jalan Selat on 24 April 1980¹. It was named after the Iranian city of Esfahan on 24 June, 1997, in response to the naming of a Kuala Lumpur Street in that city.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
