Paterson Road is a major thoroughfare in River Valley, Singapore. It runs from the Orchard Road intersection, across from Scotts Road to continue as Paterson Hill to the intersection with Grange Road, across from Irwell Bank Road and Hoot Kiam Road. It was known in Hokkien as Tang3leng3 Ma1ta3 Chu3 Au33, meaning "road behind the Tanglin Police Station".
Paterson Road was named after W.R. Paterson, who arrived in Singapore in 1849 and joined the firm of Kerr, Rawson & Company, eventually becoming one of the major partners in the establishment.
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.
