Today in History: Raffles Founds a Trading Post
On this date, February 6, 1819, Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles, 38, announces the formation of a tax-free trading post at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The absence of tax and regulations brings several hundred traders within a few weeks. The settlement will later grow up to be the nation of Singapore. (Photo: Ricky W., GNU License, Wikipedia)
