Humble Beginnings
Believe it or not, the main thoroughfare we know and love had already been cut in the 1830s. Back then, the area was filled with nutmeg, gambier, pepper, and fruit plantations. Another claim to its mainsake is that a Dr. Jun tending his garden and plantation at the corner of today’s Scotts Road and Orchard Road.
But through the 1840s, nutmeg prices plummeted. Then the floods in 1847, as well as outbreaks of diseases and pests in 1857. The nutmeg plantations were soon phased out. The area saw a boom in development by the 1860s. Houses and bungalows began populating the hills around the road. The first shophouses sprouted around Dhoby Ghaut. In 1869, the Government House, now Istana Negara was completed.
It was in the early 20th century Orchard Road began its rise as a commercial hub. On 30 March 1905, the Singapore Cold Storage opened its first store. In 1911, the Young Men’s Christian Association was built and completed.
The Boulevard of New Dreams
After World War 2, the Orchard Road that we know began to take shape. Ngee Ann building was completed in 1957. A year later, the C.K. Tang department store with its signature pagoda-like roof opened its doors.
The construction boom hit its full swing in the 1970s and 1980s, when more hotels sprung up. And then the area heralded three MRT stations—Orchard, Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut—as the North South Line completed. The iconic burgundy facade of Ngee Ann City took shape in the early 1990s.
So, if you didn’t know by now, this is the place to be for shopaholics. Today, there is a slew of shopping malls filled to the brim with everything you could ever want: ION Orchard, Wisma Atria, Ngee Ann City, Orchard Central, Orchard Gateway, 313 @ Somerset, Orchard Plaza, Plaza Singapura, The Centrepoint, The Heeren, Mandarin Gallery, Cathay Cineleisure Orchard, Wheelock Place, Liat Towers, Shaw House and Scotts Square.
