SINGORA, or SONGKLA (the Sangore of early navigators)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 149 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SINGORA, or SONGKLA (the Sangore of early navigators) , a port on the E.
coast
  of the Malay Peninsula and the head-quarters of the high
commissioner
  of the Siamese division of Nakhon Sri Tammarat. It is situated in 70 12' N. and 1oo 35' E. It was settled at the beginning of the 19th century by Chinese from
Amoy
 , the leader of whom was appointed by Siam to be
governor
  of the town and
district
 . Having been more than once sacked by Malay pirates, the town was encircled, about 185o, by a strong
wall
 , which, as both Chinese
governors
  and Malay pirates, are now things of the past, supplies the public works department with good road metal. The population, about s000, Chinese, Siamese and a few Malays, is stationary, and the same may be said of the
trade
 , which is all carried in Chinese junks. The town has become an important administrative centre; good roads connect it with Kedah and other places in the Peninsula, and the mining is developed in the interior. In 1906 railways surveys were undertaken by the government with a view to making
Singora
  the port for S. Siam; but this harbour, formed by the entrance to the inland sea of Patalung, would require dredging to be available for vessels of any size.
