The British East India Company (EIC) established a presence there in 1685, and in 1714 the EIC built Fort Marlborough there. Originally a Presidency within British India, in 1785 it was downgraded to Bencoolen Residency and placed under the Bengal Presidency.[1] On 15 October 1817, Stamford Raffles was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Bencoolen. During his time as Lieutenant-Governor, Raffles enacted major reforms, including the abolition of slavery, as well as creating Singapore to provide a new trading port in the region. In 1823, Singapore was removed from the control of Bencoolen.[2] The British ceded Bencoolen to the Netherlands in the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824.[3] References1. ^http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Indonesia.htm#Bencoolen 2. ^Kevin YL Tan.
