Johnston's Pier was built in 1855 and named after Alexander Laurie Johnston, the prominent merchant who came to Singapore in 1820. The pier was the main landing point in the city until it was demolished in 1933, paving the way for Clifford Pier, named after Sir Hugh Clifford, Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1927-1929.
