Today's Hankou Road starts from East Zhongshan Road in the east, the Bund, and ends at Middle Tibet Road in the west. At the beginning of the opening of the British Concession, the name of the road was chosen arbitrarily, and it was named Sanma Road. In 1862, the Anglo-American Concession was merged into a public Concession. After that, the two sides compromised and decided to name the north-south and east-west roads with the names of Chinese provinces and cities.

Hankou Road is commonly known as "three roads", originally one of the four mud roads leading to the Huangpu River. At first, the road was built from the Bund to Henan Middle Road, because it is close to Jianghai Beiguan, so it was originally called "Customs Road". After 1855, it was extended west to Hubei Road. After the demolition of the second racecourse in Shanghai, the road was built westward to Tibet Middle Road, which is the starting point of Hankou Road. After 1865, Hankou was used as the road name.
