The name Pal Meriam was derived from paal meriam, meaning the place where the cannon were ready to shoot. This name was given by the native people because of a British arsenal in this place. British troops arrived in Batavia from Malacca in August 1811 aiming to seize the Dutch East Indies from the Dutch, who were at the time a vassal state of France. The Dutch army under the leadership of Governor-General Herman Willem Daendels resisted with some success, but was eventually defeated by the British^[1]
