LOKASI
Kampung Morten terletak di tengah-tengah Bandaraya Melaka (Kampung Morten, 2012). Ianya dikelilingi sungai Melaka dan termasuk dalam perjalanan “Melaka River Cruise”. Kampung ini dianggap sebagai muzium hidup memandangkan ramai penduduknya masih mengamalkan cara hidup yang tidak banyak berubah dari zaman dahulu. Kampung ini mempamerkan keunikan rekabentuk 200 buah rumah Melaka tradisional, dengan bumbung, tangga batu, hiasan dalaman dan landskap yang unik (Kampung Morten, 2012). Ia seolah-olah dapat membawa pengunjung bersama-sama ‘kembali’ kepada zaman Kerajaan Melayu Melaka (Farihan Han, 2012).

LOCATION
Kampung Morten is located at the centre of the Historic City of Melaka (Kampung Morten, 2012). The Melaka River surrounds this small village and those who cruises the Melaka river on the “Melaka River Cruise” will not miss this village. Kampung Morten is regarded as a living museum as most of its residents are still practising the traditional Malay lifestyle. The village also exhibits 200 Melaka traditional houses with their unique roof, staircase, interior decoration and landscape (Kampung Morten, 2012). It feels like going back to the era of the Melaka Sultanate (Farihan Han, 2012).

TOPONOMI
Perkampungan ini dinamakan sempena nama J.F Morten, pesuruhjaya Tanah pada awal 1920-an. Morten telah memainkan peranan untuk membina perkampungan ini yang dahulunya hanya merupakan sebuah kawasan paya (Kampung Morten, 2012).

TOPONYMY
