Rond 1700 begon de ontwikkeling van de stadswijk Otrobanda op de westelijke oever van de St. Annabaai tegenover het Fort Amsterdam op de 'Punda'. De eerste woninkjes stonden aan de Waterkant. De Waterkant groeide uit tot het beginpunt, eindpunt en tegelijkertijd centrum van Otrobanda. In de volksmond werd het:
'Awasá' genoemd; letterlijk 'Zout water'.
