Napier Road, Singapore : ウィキペディア英語版
Napier Road, Singapore

Napier Road is a road located within the Tanglin Planning Area in Singapore.
The road starts with its junction with Holland Road and Cluny Road near the Singapore Botanic Gardens to the west, and ends at its junction with Tanglin Road and Grange Road to the east, near the Orchard Road shopping belt.
==Etymology and history==
Napier Road is named after William "Royal Billy" Napier (born 1804), the first lawyer in Singapore in 1833. He arrived in Singapore in 1831 and married George Drumgoole Coleman's widow, Maria Frances.
Napier Road originally led to Napier's house, known as ''Tang Leng'' in Chinese, which he built in 1854. He was one of the founders of the Singapore Free Press and a shareholder of the Raffles Library. Later he became the Lieutenant Governor of Labuan because of his friendship with Sir James Brooke (1803-1868). He retired in 1857.
