Sengkang
Sengkang, which means “prosperous harbour” in Chinese, traces its roots to its beginnings as a fishing village known to early settlers as Kangkar (Teochew for “foot of the port”) as it is situated near the Serangoon River. Before development, the landscape was dotted with farms, rubber and pepper plantations, alongside a thriving fishing port. In the 1990s, Sengkang was transformed into a modern township, and its waterfront history is now reflected in district names like Anchorvale, Compassvale and Rivervale. Not far from Sengkang’s modern housing estates stands Kampong Lorong Buangkok, Singapore's last remaining mainland village, offering a look back into the area’s heritage.
