Lim Mah Chye, the namesake of the road, was a shipping tycoon from the early 20th century. The road was name after him probably because he owned the land on that part of town. Lim Mah Chye was also the original builder and owner of Homestead, the most opulent residence in Penang that was completed in 1919. The residence today houses the Wawasan Open University.
