The locality was gazetted in 1980.

In 2019, Singapore-based developer Pip Holdings proposed to build a "rural Chinatown" in the suburb, with up to 1,500 houses, a commercial centre, and a school, all designed for Chinese immigrants. The project was suspended indefinitely in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
