This section of road used to be called Rock Road (大石路) as it led past a large rock named Batu Kinyang (峇都吉央) located one and a half miles away. The rock, which juts out of the ground, was believed to be sacred. This stretch of road was the main route used towards the outskirts of Kuching and was also the longest road at that time. When Sarawak joined in the formation of Malaysia in 1963, the first half of Rock Road was renamed after Sarawak’s first Governor, Tun Abang Haji Openg.
敦阿邦哈志奥本路
这段路过去称为大石路，与该路段一哩半左右的一颗名叫“峇都吉央”的大石有关，那是一颗传奇的神石。这条道路是早年通往郊外的主要干道，也是最长的道路。1963年砂拉越参组马来西亚后，将大石路的前半段易名，敦阿邦哈志奥本是砂拉越的第一任州长。
