The name of Portland Street

Your article said :

The street was named after William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1783 and between 1807 and 1809.

Can anyone make sure that and the history & reasons --TEMFR 04:55, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably correct although nobody knows why. Many of Hong Kong's streets are named for famous British people without rhyme or reason. I've mentioned this during today's edit. --UCLARodent 08:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
