History
The streets in Kowloon City, including Junction Road, were laid out in the late 1920s and early 1930s. However, at this stage, Junction Road only extended a short distance from Prince Edward Road.[1] By 1960, Junction Road had been extended as far as Dumbarton Road[2] and during the 1960s, it was extended through Lok Fu to Waterloo Road.
