George Town has a long and interesting history with lots of historical buildings, earning the city UNESCO World Heritage Site status from 2008 onward. George Town was established in 1136 as a Sultanate, but really starting growing from 1786 when the British East India Company took control of the city turning it into a major trading port. The British settlers built lots of European style buildings, however, the distinctive character of the city was created in larger part by the Indian and Chinese immigrants who came to work and do business in the city. George Town has some unique features established by these immigrant communities in the late 19th Century that still exist today. To the east of Chulia Street is the ‘Little India’ quarter with lots of Indian restaurants and shops selling Indian products. The Chinese community left an even bigger mark on the city. Along the seafront road are a series of wooden piers where close knit Chinese communities still live over the sea without paying local taxes and possessing no land titles for their homes. The city also has a number of Chinese style Taoist temples and grand clan houses, which were the headquarters of armed gangs during the 19th Century who frequently fought with each other and the Indian community for control of the city’s economy.
