Initially established as an entrepôt by Francis Light in 1786, George Town now serves as the economic hub for northern Malaysia. Shortly before Malaya attained independence from Britain in 1957, George Town was declared a city by Queen Elizabeth II, making it the first city in the country's modern history. The city is renowned for its unique architectural styles, which have been shaped by centuries of intermingling of various ethnicity and religions. It has also gained a reputation as modern Malaysia's gastronomical capital for its distinct and ubiquitous street cuisine. The preservation of these cultures contributed to the city centre's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008.
