Originally called Rozario Street in 1915, Jalan Rozario was named after R.L.D. Rozario, the Chief Clerk under the administration of William Treacher, the then Resident of Selangor. Rozario was a Eurasian of Portuguese descent was from Malacca. The road was named because it used to lead to the government quarters for administration clerks.
