Palmer Road, Singapore

Palmer Road, Singapore (27 July, 2017)


Palmer Road is a minor road in downtown Singapore. It connects Shenton Way to Anson Road, from where the road continues as Enggor Street. Mistri Road forms a T-junction with it.

Palmer Road is a one-way road. Traffic enters at Shenton Way.

Palmer Road was named¹ in 1905 after Calcutta merchant John Palmer (1766-1836) who bought land in the area after the founding of Singapore. Palmer helped the Indian merchants establish themselves in the colony. Before being called Palmer Road, the road was known as Tanjong Malang. In the early days, it was just a path leading to the godowns off Anson Road. Further south of the present road was a fortification known as Fort Palmer. For that reason, Palmer Road was previously called Palmer Battery Road.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
