The story of Jurong is a fascinating piece of Singapore history  . Arising out of swampland and developed into an industrial estate in the 1960s, Jurong has since become a self-sufficient and thriving town in the West. In the early years of the 1800s, Jurong was the koo chye (Chinese chive) capital of Singapore. Jurong began as a vast swath of swamps, jungles and small fishing villages in the western region of the island. Hills were levelled and swampland filled to make way for industrial, residential and recreational amenities. As Jurong developed, its rail and road network grew more comprehensive. The Pan Island Expressway was completed in 1981, providing direct and fast access to the east of Singapore, where the newly operating Changi Airport was.In 1992, Jurong welcomed Singapore’s first business park, the International Business Park, and throughout the next decade, this area continued to thrive, attracting residents with its ever-improving infrastructure and recreation amenities like Superbowl Jurong and Jurong Entertainment Centre (which housed a cinema and even a skating rink).
