History
Queenstown was named after Queen Elizabeth to mark her coronation in 1953. The arterial road Queensway was officially named in 1955. A British military camp called Buller Camp was also set up there until 1953 when it was cleared for the new housing estate.
Queenstown was Singapore's first satellite town. Built before Toa Payoh and Ang Mo Kio, Queenstown was a test bed for much of Singapore's public housing. Before the Second World War, people lived in huts and grew vegetables and fruits and reared pigs and chickens. A total of 19,372 dwelling units were constructed between 1952 and 1968 in Queenstown estate.
Pasir Panjang, which means 'long sandy beach' in Malay, was once a fishing area with agricultural activity.
