History

The valley once hosted a village and a river ran to Ma Tau Kok and emptied into Kowloon Bay. The valley was mainly cultivated areas.

There was a cemetery, Hau Pui Loong Cemetery, of 19 acre in the area. Part of it was a Plague Trench (疫症墳場) for the bodies of those killed by the bubonic plague between 1894 and 1901. Established in 1913, the cemetery was finally removed in 1948.

New Asia College, one of three founding colleges of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was located near Tin Kwong Road and Farm Road. After the college moved to Ma Liu Shui, Sha Tin, New Asia Middle School was founded at the former campus.
