    Boat Quay is a historical quay in Singapore which is situated upstream from the mouth of the Singapore River on its southern bank. Since the founding of modern Singapore in 1819, the Singapore River was the artery for much of the island’s trade and economic activities. The south bank of the river, where most of the commerce took place, is known as Boat Quay. In 1986, the Urban Redevelopment Authority announced plans to conserve Boat Quay as part of a master plan. On 7 July 1989, an area encompassing South Bridge Road, Circular Road, Lorong Telok and North Canal Road was gazetted.
