Penang's modern history
began in 1786, upon the establishment of George Town by
Francis Light
. Penang formed part of the
Straits Settlements
in 1826, which became a
British crown colony
in 1867. Direct British rule was only briefly interrupted during
World War II
, when
Japan
occupied Penang
; the
British retook Penang
in 1945. Penang was later merged with the
Federation of Malaya
(now Malaysia), which gained independence from the British in 1957. Following the decline of its
entrepôt
trade towards the 1970s, Penang's economy was reoriented towards hi-tech manufacturing.

Silicon Valley of the East
for its industries, Penang is one of Malaysia's most vital economic powerhouses.
