该城市的名字来源于航海术语停泊区(Roadstead),意思就是一个比港口较为开敞的抛锚地。Wickham's Cay是一片面积为28公顷的新开发区 ,由两个填海区和一个游艇停泊港组成。这个游艇停泊港使罗德城成为了游艇出租的天堂和旅游业的中心。同时,这里是该城市最新的地区,也是新型商业机构和英属维尔京群岛行政机构的集聚地。位于Main大街的女皇陛下监狱是罗德城最古老的建筑,其历史可以追溯到1840年。

Road Town 罗德城

(重定向自Roadtown)

Road Town, located on Tortola, is the capital of the British Virgin Islands. It is situated on the horseshoe-shaped Road Harbour in the centre of the island's south coast. The population was about 9,400 in 2004.

The name is derived from the nautical term "the roads", a place less sheltered than a harbour but which ships can easily get to. A 28 hectares (69 acres) development called Wickham's Cay, consisting of two areas that were reclaimed from the sea and a marina, have enabled Road Town to emerge as a haven for yacht chartering and a centre of tourism. This area is the newest part of the city and the hub for the new commercial and administrative buildings of the BVI. The oldest building in Road Town, the HM Prison on Main Street, dates from the 1840s.
