Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman was originally known as Batu Road. Batu Road was renamed Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in honour of the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad. It was the main road leading to Kampung Batu, one of the early mining villages to the north of Kuala Lumpur.

From a swampy beginning, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman slowly evolved to become a major working-class shopping street by the mid 20th century.

The major roads intersecting Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman are Jalan Chow Kit, Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Dang Wangi.
