Said to be a kind-hearted individual, Captain Cuscaden was also active in the Boys Scouts. The road was named after him on 7 June 1921.

Cuscaden Road is home to several significant landmarks. In 1968, the Cuscaden House Hotel opened to guests at 28 Cuscaden Road. This establishment underwent several transformations, becoming the Hotel Malaysia in 1976 and later the Boulevard Hotel in 1983.
