The mosque traces its history to the 1872 although the surrounding land have been settled much earlier, possibly before the establishment of George Town as a British trading post, since Tamil Muslims and Acehnese have already founded villages along the banks of Sungai Pinang by the late 18th century. The land is also called Dato Keramat, as it is the location of the Perak Road Malay Cemetery, where the Muslim ascetic was buried.
