Medieval Singapore
In 1819 Singapore was
founded by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. Singapore was founded on land ceded to the East
India Company by the sultanate of Johore. In 1824 a treaty turned this newly founded
territory to the British
Crown. Singapore boasted an excellent harbor & soon became a
dominant port for trade.
