由来

花柏山原称为 “直落布兰雅山”（Tulloh Blangan Hills，现名为 Telok Blangah Hills）。
花柏山的总面积达 56.46 公顷，高约 105 米。
1845 年初，当时的殖民地政府为了替代绝后岛（Pulau Belakang Mati，即如今的圣淘沙）上的信号装置，在花柏山上设立了新的航海通讯旗杆。
殖民政府为此调派了驻守在印度马德拉斯（Madras）的工程师查尔斯·爱德华·花柏队长（Captain Charles Edward Faber）带领一批印度囚犯，修了一条上山的小路。
小路建好后，当局为了纪念工程师花柏的贡献，便将直落布兰雅山改名为花柏山。
1970 年，政府实施亨德申路（Henderson Road）的延长计划，将花柏山分为两部分。东边仍称为花柏山，而西边则改回直落布兰雅山。
位于花柏山的花柏山公园（Mount Faber Park）于 1960 年代正式建成。 1994 年，花柏山公园增加了许多基础设施，山上的景观也重新进行了设计。

ETYMOLOGY

Mount Faber was originally named Tulloh Blangan Hills (now known as Telok Blangah Hills).
Mount Faber has a total land area of 56.46 hectares and stands at a height of 105m.
In early 1845, the colonial government replaced the existing signaling device on Pulau Belakang Mati (now Sentosa) with a new maritime communication flagstaff on Mount Faber.
The colonial government assigned this project to Captain Charles Edward Faber, who was posted to Madras, India. He subsequently led a group of Indian prisoners to construct a path that leads up the hill.
Upon completion of the path, the government decided to rename Tulloh Blangan Hills as Mount Faber in honour of Captain Faber.
In 1970, the government carried out road extension works at Henderson Road, which led to the division of Mount Faber into two parts. While the eastern region kept its name of Mount Faber, the western region was renamed back to Telok Blangah Hills.
Mount Faber Park, which is located at Mount Faber, was officially built in the 1960s. In 1994, new infrastructural amenities were added to Mount Faber Park, with the hill’s landscape also receiving a redesign.
