Though at this stage the history of the naming of this road from Rua Dom Joao Castro, near Mermaid Garden to the Fonte Phoenix is not clear. This road runs from the main arterial road Dom Joao de Castro Road near Navigation Department up to the Fonte Phoenix via the rear of Mary Immaculate Girls High School. The date commemorates the liberation of Portuguese from Spain on 31 st January 1640.
The original name of this road was “Rua Quatro de Abril or 4 th April Road”. This was so named because the then Governor Jose Joaquim Lopes de Lima (1840 – 42) had got this street illuminated through Street Lighting from 4 th April.
Presently part of the road from near Mushtifund Primary School till the Fonte Phoenix is named as “ Dr. Ramchandra Naik Road”.
