History

In 1952, Hakka farmers and shopkeepers of Kau Sai Chau were required to relocate, because the place was located in the centre of a large area of sea about to be designated as a military firing range. The villagers were resited to Kau Sai San Tsuen. At the time of the relocation, the village was described as "a new village of 17 houses, family temple, school hall, pigsties, grass-stores and latrine".[2][3]
