The Singapore River is located within the island’s Central Region. The 3.2-km-long waterway – from its mouth to Kim Seng Bridge – has been the lifeline of Singapore for almost 200 years. Proof of its ancient beginnings lies in the Singapore Stone, which was discovered at the river mouth in 1819 with undecipherable inscriptions.
Singapore’s rapid development in its early years was due largely to its strategic location and establishment as an entrepôt port. The port of Singapore traces its origins to the lower reaches of the Singapore River, where it developed and ourished for the rst 40 years of the settlement’s history. The river-port’s waterways and quays were hubs of economic activity as otillas of boats plied its waters, loading and unloading their goods for import or re-export.
