What Was Butterworth

Butterworth was the administrative capital in Seberang Prai, (Penang Mainland), over the years such government departments have move out to Seberang Jaya, Bandar Perda Bukit Mertajam, and Kepala Batas.  However the Penang Port is still here, with its Iconic Ferry Service to the Island, Butterworth Railway Station and the Butterworth Air Base.   

What Butterworth is now. 

Name after William J Butterworth (a British Governor of Penang) It’s now a suburb of George Town,  Penang Capital, and link to it by ferry, and hopefully  in the future by Penang very own Chunnel (Bagain Ajam - Tanjung Tokong) and Cable Car (Ferry Terminal to Macalum Street) 

Butterworth is a sealevel town, border by the sea to the east (north channel), Perai to the south (across by prai river), Seberang Jaya / Bundar Perda in the East, (also across the prai river), and in the North we have the Air Base (Telok Air Tawar).  Right now apartments are mushrooming up in this areas  

Within Butterworth, Major Locations are the Ferry Jetty(Bagan), Taman Selat (Bagan Luar),  Town (Padang/Kg Banggali), Butterworth China Town Raja Uda, and the Mak Mandin Industrial Estate.  More of this in my 2nd posts
