History Lok Fu, Wong Tai Sin, Wang Tau Hom, and Tung Tau were home to a large number of public housing blocks built in the 1950s and 1960s to provide accommodation to Hong Kong's burgeoning population of refugee migrants. This type of housing, built in haste with limited resources, was rudimentary. The flats were no more than single rooms and families on each floor shared toilet and bathing facilities. In the 1980s, there was a push to redevelop the first generation of estates so that each family was housed in a self-contained flat. By the late 1980s, much of the area had been rebuilt.

A third block opened in 2010, and a fourth opened in 2014.=== Background ===In 1971, the British Hong Kong Government cleared Tung Wo Village and Chiu Ping New Village in Tung Tau Squatter Area. In 1974, one block of the estate, "Block 6", was constructed. The government planned to demolish nearby Sai Tau Village in Kowloon City to construct remaining blocks, but the plan was strongly opposed by the village residents. As a result, the plan was left aside. (Sai Tau Village was finally demolished in 1984 to build the current Carpenter Road Park.) Since no other blocks were built, "Block 6" was renamed as "Mei Tung House" in 1979.In 1981, the government decided to construct one more block on the left side of Mei Tung House. In 1983, the block, "Mei Po House", was completed.=== Houses === Name  Type  Completion Mei Tung House  Old Slab  1974 Mei Po House  1983 Mei Yan House  Non-standard  2010 Mei Tak House  2014File:Mei Tung Estate Mei Tung House west.jpg|Mei Tung HouseFile:HK MeiTungEstate.jpg|Mei Po HouseFile:Mei Tung Estate 2012 part1.JPG|Mei Yan HouseFile:Mei Tung Estate 2013 09 part1.JPG|Mei Tak House, under construction
