Balik Pulau is a town within the jurisdiction of Penang Island City Council in the Malaysian state of Penang.
The agricultural town of Balik Pulau was established in 1794 by the British East India Company. To this day, the economy of Balik Pulau still relies heavily on agriculture; Penang's most famous produce, including nutmegs, cloves and durians, are grown and harvested in the town.
The town centre, also known colloquially as 'Kongsi' (meaning 'to share' in Malay), was apparently named after the communal wooden longhouses that once existed within the heart of Balik Pulau.
For much of its history, Balik Pulau has been a rather quiet agricultural and fishery villages, in stark contrast to the busier eastern side of Penang Island where the capital city, George Town, is situated. As agriculture / fishing industry does not feature prominently in Penang's economy, Balik Pulau is said to have the last remaining paddy fields (rice field) in all of Penang Island.
