On August 11, 1786, Captain Francis Wright, a representative of the British East India Company, acquired Penang Island from the Sultan of Kedah and named it "Prince of Wales Island". He called the landing place George Town, which later became
The capital of Penang.
Penang thus became the first free trade port for British colonization in the Far East.
Before Wright opened Penang, Penang was already a place where East-West trade passed through the Strait of Malacca and was known to be a place where good quality drinking water could be obtained.
George Town and Malacca were officially included in UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List on July 7, 2008.
