Tanjong Rhu Road is a minor arterial road in Tanjong Rhu, Singapore. A combination of the words Tanjong (meaning cape) and pokok rhu (casurina littoria), the earliest mention of the road is thought to be in Emanuel Godiho de Erédia's 1604 map of Singapore where it was referred to as Tanjon Ru. In 1828, as a part of the Jackson Plan, Tanjong Rhu was made as a shipyard. However, there were squatters and water pollution in the shipyards, culminating in the government getting rid of them to build luxurious condominiums.
