Tung Tau Tsuen is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.
[1] Tung Tau Tsuen is so called because it is located in the east of the old Yuen Long Kau Hui market.
It was established in the 17th century by the members of several clans, the Chans (陳) being the major one, and others being the Loks (駱) and the Lis (李) from Dongguan.
The village was originally called Chan Lok Li Tsuen (陳駱李村).
It was relocated and rebuilt on the present Castle Peak Road site in 1958.
