Neolithic artifacts have been unearthed in a region called Chung Hom Wan, which is not far from Wong Chuk Hang. In 1550 the Hong Kong Village () 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. The name Staunton (along with valley and creek) is likely linked to
Sir George Staunton, 2nd Baronet. ==Features==
