History

The constituency was created under the overhaul of the electoral system imposed by the Beijing government in 2021, replacing Yau Tsim Mong District and Sham Shui Po District of the Kowloon West constituency used from 1998 to 2021. Constituencies with the same name were also created for the 1991 and 1995 elections in the late colonial period, while the 1991 constituency also elected two seats with each voter having two votes.
