History of Woodlands
Comprising Woodlands, Admiralty and Marsiling estates, the town was named Woodlands as it gave the appearance of a heavily-wooded area when viewed from the Johor side of the Straits.
In the 1970s and 1980s, kampungs in the area were relocated to make way for industrialisation and the development of Woodlands Town.
