Naming

The road was named after lessor, same as the nearby street, the Cox's Path. James Cox was a drug trade merchant who did smuggling, selling and doing deals with opium. In 1782, he started out by selling mechanical novelties in Canton but soon changed into the profitable business. Mr James Cox was obliged to leave China and eventually he had gone into real estate dealing in Hong Kong. James owned the leases on a number of the lots which ran Cox's Road and Cox's Path.
