Clarke Quay’s rich history.

This area is named after Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore’s second governor. It was initially used as a port for trading ships, loading and unloading goods such as spices, wood, and timber. As trade flourished, Clarke Quay built many warehouses to store the goods. 

It underwent another transformation in the late 19th century when it became an important transportation hub along the Singapore riverside. The location was ideal for barges transporting passengers and cargo upriver to outlying areas.

The shoreline was lined with godowns (warehouses) which housed various businesses such as sawmills, flour mills, and even opium factories.  By then, Clarke Quay had become an integral part of life in colonial Singapore.
