Penang. The official name of the island is Prince of
Wales Island and the town is Georgetown, but neither of
these names is in general use. Penang was founded
17th July, 1786, having been ceded to the East India
Company by the Sultan of Kedal, in return for an
annuity in 1785. At this time the island was almost
uninhabited. Penang has an excellent harbour and is the
centre of considerable trade.
