Fort Canning was once known as Bukit Larangan (Forbidden Hill) and Government Hill. During the early years after the founding of modern Singapore, Fort Canning was the home of the Resident and the site where the first botanic gardens resided. Its military and strategic role only materialised later in 1860.
