"Tembaga" means "copper" in Malay, and refers to the Javanese coppersmiths who were once active in this area. Many people visit Kampong Tembaga to buy or repair their copper implements and utensils. The trade gradually declined in the post-war years due to factors such as the availability of cheaper utensils.
