Orchard Road Singapore

· Tangs Department Store
· Ngee Ann City
· Wisma Atria
· The Heeren
· Centrepoint

In the 1840's the pepper and the nutmeg plantations lined this street. The Orchard Road Derives its name from it. The plantations were owned by the people of diverse lineage, like the Scotts, Cairnhill, and Cuppage. Today, many streets in the neighboring Orchard Road Singapore are known by these names. An inscrutable disease effaced the plantations in the 1900s. The positioning of this place in the valley also made it vulnerable to recurrent floods. It was only in 1965 that controlling measures were taken and in the 1970's the construction of Plaza Singapura, C.K Tangs and the Mandarin Hotel was followed by the mushrooming of other amusement complexes.
