Chinatown in Singapore has a rich and fascinating history. Let’s take a journey back in time:
Early Beginnings:
In the early 19th century, Chinese immigrants flocked to Singapore in search of employment and trade opportunities.
These immigrants, mainly from the southern provinces of China, established themselves in what is now known as Chinatown.
Chinese Kampong:
In 1822, Sir Stamford Raffles allocated the area west of the Singapore River for a Chinese settlement known as the Chinese kampong.
The vision was that Chinese immigrants would form the bulk of future town dwellers.
This self-contained community became home to many Chinese immigrants and served as a transit point for coolies (unskilled laborers) heading to Malaya.
Different Chinese communities of the same provincial origin and dialect group occupied specific zones within the kampong.
Each street had its own identity, catering to various needs, from delicacies to daily essentia
