By the early 20th century, Tanjong Pagar emerged as a thriving commercial hub. The development of Keppel Harbour and various industries reshaped the district. The district’s landscape changed dramatically, melding modern infrastructure with its historical charm, evident in the preserved shophouses and cultural landmarks.

The area boasts several significant landmarks that reflect its unique heritage. The Thian Hock Keng Temple, one of Singapore’s oldest temples, serves as a testament to the region’s cultural diversity.
