Holland Drive Market & Food Centre 5月16日

Holland Village in Singapore has an interesting history. It was named after Holland Road, which itself was named after Hugh Holland, an early resident in Singapore. The Hokkien dialect colloquially referred to Holland Road as “hue hng au,” meaning “behind the flower garden” due to its proximity to the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
Originally, Holland Village developed in the 1930s as a military village catering to British soldiers and their families based in Pasir Panjang and Alexandra. Over time, it evolved into an expatriate enclave, but it also became popular among locals. The area was officially named “Holland Village” by the Rural Board in 1929. In the 1960s, it was a cluster of two-story shophouses and wooden shacks, with businesses serving a predominantly Western clientele. The growth of a local residential population helped sustain the area even after the British military withdrew from Singapore in the early 1970s. Today, Holland Village remains a vibrant neighborhood with retail outlets, dining options, and a mix of expatriate and local residents.
Additionally, Holland Drive is located in the Queenstown area and was named after Queen Elizabeth II to mark her coronation ceremony in 1953. It was the first residential area where the Singapore government tested public housing initiatives.
So, whether you’re interested in history or exploring the present-day charm, Holland Village and Holland Drive have much to offer! 🌸🏡🇸🇬
