The road is named after Colin Campbell, 1st Baron Clyde (1792–1863), a Scottish soldier who fought in India during the Indian mutiny; he also policed the Tithe War in Ireland.[1][2]
The embassy of the United States is at the crossroads with Pembroke Road in Ballsbridge, while the National Headquarters and training centre of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Order of Malta Ambulance Corps are located at 32 Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, and the headquarters of The Institution of Engineers of Ireland is at 22 Clyde Road.[citation needed] St Conleth's College, now a co-educational school, was established at 17 Clyde Road in 1939 but in 1940 moved to number 28.[3]
