History

Neolithic artifacts have been unearthed in a region called Chung Hom Wan, which is not far from Wong Chuk Hang.[1] In 1550 the Hong Kong Village (Template:Zh) was established in Wong Chuk Hang; it still exists, much diminished in size, as Wong Chuk Hang Kau Wai. A satellite village, Wong Chuk Hang San Wai, was established in the 1860s and 1870s.[2] The name Staunton (along with valley and creek) is likely linked to Sir George Staunton, 2nd Baronet.
