Exploring Kota Kinabalu's Heritage: The Story Behind Atkinson Clock Tower, the Oldest Surviving Structure in Kota Kinabalu
Standing quietly above the city for more than a century, Atkinson Clock Tower remains the oldest surviving structure in Kota Kinabalu. Built in 1905 as a memorial to Francis George Atkinson, the tower reflects the early days of the city when it was still known as Jesselton. Despite the destruction of much of the town during World War II, this historic landmark endured. Today, it stands as an important reminder of Sabah’s colonial past and the origins of modern Kota Kinabalu.
