Initially the location of Chinese-owned gambier plantations, the hill was first called Mount Stamford, after Sir Stamford Raffles. Its current name is taken from Captain James Pearl, owner and commander of the Indiana, the ship in which Raffles sailed from Penang in January 1819 on the expedition that culminated in the founding of Singapore. Colonial institutional buildings located here have included the Seamen’s Hospital (predecessor of the Singapore General Hospital), the first Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Outram Prison (also known as H. M. Jail), and the Upper and Lower Barracks of the Sikh contingent of the Straits Settlements Police.[Pearl's Hill] -- History -- Key features -- Variant names -- References.Street names--SingaporeHills {18337794}|Streets and Places {18336099}engNLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore InfopediaArticle {18335714}NAThe information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.
