由来
  • 源自于福建话 ong keh sua kah ti long pnee。
  • 皇家山，也称“王家山”，是新加坡一座历史悠久的山丘。它曾是古代皇宫的所在地。
  • “王家山脚”指里峇峇利路（River Valley Road）一带，而所谓的“铁廊”源自于福建话 ti long，指制铁工厂。
  • 青桥头末端原有一座属于豪沃思•厄斯金公司（Howarth Erskine & Co.）的炼铁厂，所以在福建话中也俗称为 ti long，即“铁廊”。由于该厂位于青桥头较靠近皇家山（也称“王家山”）山脚的那一端，因此青桥头也俗称为“王家山脚铁厂”。
  • 陈泰坊的命名是为了纪念福建籍的金门商人与华社领袖陈泰。以木柴进口和黄梨种植业闻名的陈泰最初于如今的陈泰坊开设了一家黄梨厂，该厂主要生产著名的皇宫牌罐头黄梨。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “王家山脚铁廊边” originated from the Hokkien term ong keh sua kah ti long pnee.
  • Fort Canning Hill (“皇家山” or “王家山”) is a hill in Singapore with a rich history. An ancient royal palace once stood on the hill.
  • “王家山脚” refers to the foot of Fort Canning Hill, or the River Valley Road area, while “铁廊” originated from the Hokkien term ti long, which refers to an iron manufacturing factory.
  • There was an iron foundry owned by Howarth Erskine & Co. at the end of Ord Bridge, hence it was also colloquially known in Hokkien as ti long (“铁廊”), which literally translates to “iron factory”. As the foundry was located at the end of Ord Bridge that was nearer to the foot of Fort Canning Hill (“皇家山” or “王家山”), Ord Road was also colloquially known as “王家山脚铁厂” (meaning “iron factory at the foot of Fort Canning Hill”).
  • Tan Tye Place was named to commemorate Tan Tye, a Fujian-born Kinmen businessman and a leader of the Singapore Chinese community.Tan was known for his timber importing business and pineapple plantations. His factory at today’s Tan Tye Place produced the famous Istana brand of canned pineapples.
