Queenstown, Singapore
Queenstown is one of the early housing estates in Singapore, built before Toa Payoh and Ang Mo Kio, and was a test bed for much of Singapore's public housing. Queenstown is located at the central-western end of the island about five to eight kilometres from the city.
Developed by the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) in the 1950s and subsequently the Housing and Development Board (HDB) in the 1960s, Queenstown is the first satellite town in Singapore. Apartments consisted of simple one-, two-, or three-room flats, typically in low-rise, walk-up blocks. Major development work was carried out during the first Five-Year Building Programme (1960–1965). A total of 19,372 dwelling units were constructed between 1952 and 1968.〔()〕
==Etymology==
''Queenstown'' was named after Queen Elizabeth II to mark her coronation in 1952. The area was previously known by the Mandarin Chinese name ''Wu-wei-gang'' (Wade Giles: Wu-wei-kang). The arterial road Queensway was officially named in 1954.
