End Of War Shaped Rangoon From Fishing Village
Rangoon grew from a 19th century fishing village into a major port built by the British in 1852. The city, population near 500000, features western street layouts, hotels rivaling European capitals, and buses and streetcars on key routes. Its trade hub status rests on sea access, the Rangoon river 21 miles from the sea, and proximity to the Irrawaddy. Burma’s rice exports and teak imports also drive activity, with teak shipments reaching about a quarter of a million tons annually.
