Ngau Kwu Long is a single-surname village, occupied by members of the Lam family. The Lams originated from Putian in Fujian province. They moved to Chayuan of Dongguan in Guangdong province, and a branch of the family moved to Ngau Kwu Long during the reign of Qianlong Emperor.Ngau Kwu Long was historically part of the San Heung community, consisting of the villages of Pak Mong, Ngau Kwu Long and Tai Ho. The village was badly damaged in the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong, being pillaged by bandits and 13 houses and the two ancestral halls were burnt down or seriously damaged by the Japanese as they were attacked by guerrillas. Much of the local population died prematurely at this time and many of the villagers were also executed here and in Mui Wo.
