Singapore became British in 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles, an agent of the British East India Company, established a trading post there. Recognizing its strategic location along the Strait of Malacca, Raffles aimed to enhance British trade routes in the region. The British formally acquired control over Singapore in 1824 through a treaty with the Sultan of Johor, solidifying its status as a key port and colony within the British Empire. This move marked the beginning of significant British influence and development in the area.
