==History==
Originally, Hung Hom was much smaller than the present-day context. [[Hung Hom Bay]] has been partially [[Land reclamation in Hong Kong|reclaimed]] several times since 1850, expanding the area of Hung Hom as a consequence. [[Rumsey Rock]], formerly located in the bay, was buried in the reclamation process. Later a town was developed eastward parallel to the [[Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock]].

Hung Hom was renamed to "Yamashita District" ({{lang|ja|山下區}}) during the [[Japanese occupation of Hong Kong|Japanese occupation]] from 1941 to 1945.<ref>Philip Snow: The Fall of Hong Kong. 2003. {{ISBN|0300093527}} page 159</ref> It was one of the few places to be renamed.
