According to 1898 statistics, among the Punti population of the New Territories, Yuen Long accounted for the highest proportion at 32.7%, followed by Shenzhen at 20.1% and Shuangyu at 15.9%.
According to a survey conducted in 1898 by Lockhart, Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong, the New Territories had 64,140 local inhabitants living in 161 villages, mainly concentrated along the Shenzhen River and the Yuen Long plain, who made their living by farming and possessed commercial skills.
In that period, oyster farming already existed in Deep Bay, a pearl-gathering industry existed in Tolo Harbour, and fish ponds around Yuen Long supplied fresh fish to the salted fish manufacturing industry.
In 1899, the New Territories was divided into eight districts, covering West Island, as well as East Island, East Sea, Sixth District, Sheung Yue, Yuen Long, Sha Tau Kok and Kowloon.
In 1899, when the British took over the New Territories, villages in the Tai Po and Yuen Long areas joined forces to resist the British troops, but failed.
On 10 April 1899, the Tai Ping Kung Kuk organisation appeared at Tung Ping She Hok in Yuen Long, formed by gentry from various parts of the New Territories, which recruited able-bodied villagers to organise armed forces to resist the British troops, with funds raised by the villages themselves.
