Wallich Street, Singapore

Wallich Street, Singapore (27 July, 2017)


Wallich Street is one of the smaller streets in downtown Singapore. Located in Tanjong Pagar, it runs from Maxwell Road in the east to Tanjong Pagar Road in the west. In between it intersects with Peck Seah Street.

Wallich Street was named after Danish botanist Nathaniel Wallich (1785-1854) in 1899. Wallich was instrumental in setting up the first botanical garden in Singapore, located on the slopes of Fort Canning, where the Spice Garden is located today. He also worked on classifying the local plantlife.

In honour of his contribution to Singapore, Raffles also had Mount Wallich named after him. The hill was eventually flattened when its soil was used in the 1907 Telok Ayer Reclamation Scheme that created the Shenton Way area.

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.
