Jurong West is a neighbourhood in Singapore, and is west of its counterpart Jurong East, covering a much larger area of some 9.90 square kilometres with slightly more than half used for residential purposes and HDB housing, including the Jurong West Extension. It is part of the larger town of Jurong.
In the 1950s, Jurong West was mainly dominated by swamps with low hills covered by shrubs and a thick jungle. It was developed into an industrial estate in the 1960s, supported by low-cost housing. Amenities such as government dispensaries, a private hospital, creches, hawker centres and banks were built in the 1970s during efforts to develop Singapore economically.
