Data Info |
The first reclamation project that took place in 1822 under Stamford Raffles’ supervision was called South Boat Quay. The swampy south bank of the Singapore River was levelled and filled with earth, making the site suitable for building. By 1860, 75 percent of all businesses from godowns and offices were conducted along Boat Quay. |
