Background[edit]
In the 1970s, the Hong Kong Government began to develop a new town in Sha Tin. It filled the shallows and the adjacent Sha Tin Hoi to build Sha Kok Estate and Jat Min Chuen, and carried out blasting works near Pok Hong Estate. The planning area number of the estate was numbered "Sha Tin Area 5A". Later, the government decided to build public housing there. When the name of the housing estate was initially determined, it was originally named Tsok Pok Hang Estate, and later shortened to Pok Hang Estate,[7] and was officially named Pok Hong Estate in 1981, which also means "a lot of health".[8]
