Yau Tsim Mong District
The Yau Tsim Mong District Council was established on 1 October 1994 under the name of the Yau Tsim Mong District Board as the merger of Yau Tsim and Mong Kok District Boards. The two original District Boards was established as the result of the colonial Governor Murray MacLehose's District Administration Scheme reform. The District Boards were partly elected with the "ex-officio" Urban Council members, as well as members appointed by the Governor. In 1992, the last Governor Chris Patten announced the small District Boards would be merged. As the total number of seats of the two boards were only 27, the boards were merged into Yau Tsim Mong District Board in the 1994 election with the appointed seats abolished.
