It used to be an area of well planned settlement (with title deed) under Rural Industrial Development Authority (RIDA) to accommodate/ relocate people who were moved from their areas of settlement for development purposes (among the areas were Maxwell Village) in the late 1960s.

More squatter houses were built in the early 1990s as there were demand from illegal immigrants (mostly Indonesian) who worked in various industries especially the emerging commercial development (construction).
