In the nineteenth century, the island was considered important as was heavily fortified and a crucial component of Fortress Singapore, and the base of the Royal Artillery.
After the Japanese surrender in 1945 the island became the base of the locally enlisted First Singapore Regiment of the Royal Artillery (1st SRRA) in 1947.
In the 1970s, the government decided to develop the island into a holiday resort for local visitors and tourists.
In 1974 the Singapore Cable Car system was built, linking Sentosa to Mount Faber. A series of attractions were subsequently opened for visitors including Fort Siloso, Surrender Chamber wax museum, Musical Fountain, and the Underwater World.
