Interesting facts
Jalan Besar, the main road that gives the wider area its name, began in the 1830s as a track through a betel nut and fruit orchard. The municipality widened it in the 1880s and 1890s and named it Jalan Besar, Malay for big road.
Neighbouring Petain Road was named by the municipal authorities in 1928 after the French marshal of the First World War, according to Remember Singapore. Flanders Square belongs to the same family of wartime street names.
