Commercial Square to Raffles Place

Commercial Square to Raffles Place

The Raffles Place area has always been associated with commerce. It was an early commercial centre and known as Commercial Square after it was reclaimed from the swamps found on the south bank of the Singapore River. It was renamed Raffles Place on 8 March 1858.
