History of Jurong West
In the 1950s, Jurong West was mainly dominated by swamps with low hills covered by shrubs and a thick jungle. It was developed into an industrial estate in the 1960s, supported by low-cost housing. Amenities such as government dispensaries, a private hospital, creches, hawker centres and banks were built in the 1970s during efforts to develop Singapore economically.

Up to the late 1980s, only part of the Jurong West housing estate had been developed, specifically the area between Boon Lay Place estate and Jurong East. In the early 1990s, a new section of Pioneer Road North was built to connect the present Jurong West Extension to Upper Jurong Road. This signalled the start of the development of Jurong West Extension. Today, the area is also served by the PIE which was extended to Tuas from Corporation Road, also in the early 1990s.

People feel a strong sense of place towards their neighbourhood. However, people are worried that their neighbourhood would have changes due to development of the residential area.

Throughout the development, houses will be demolished (e.g Block 167-172 located at Boon Lay Dr). Schools may also lose their histories due to the idea of merging two different schools into one (e.g Yuhua Secondary with Shuqun Secondary, and Hong Kah Secondary with Jurongville Secondary). People are worried that these places filled with memories would be lost.
