Description - Better known to the locals as 'Bagan', Butterworth started out as a small town that relied on fishing as its main economic activity. When the British came, they renamed the town after William John Butterworth. It was developed to support the booming port activity on the Penang island. The jetty in Butterworth became the main link between the island and the mainland. A railway station was also built in the late 19th century, that saw the town transformed into a major transportation hub. Today, the jetty is no more; a highway has become the main lifeline in the area and though some old businesses have remained, others have since shuttered.
