HISTORY

Part of the district was the location the original ''Kowloon City'', see Kowloon Walled City . This is now Walled City Park. The former Kai Tak International Airport was also located in the district.

In 1982 , Hong Kong was divided into 18 Administrative Districts , and Kowloon City and its neighbouring areas, such as Hung Hom , belong to the Kowloon City District since then.

Prior to 1998 , a strict building height restriction was imposed in Kowloon City to minimize the hazards of air traffic commuting through the Kai Tak Airport. The closure of Kai Tak as a result of the opening of the new Hong Kong International Airport lifted the height restriction, and high-rise apartments started to appear and reshape Kowloon City from being a slum.
