求將軍澳歷史

Tseung Kwan O (also called Junk Bay) is a bay in southeastern New Territories, Hong Kong, China. In the northern tip of the bay lies the Tseung Kwan O Village.
The Tseung Kwan O New Town, one of the nine new towns in Hong Kong, was mainly built on reclaimed land in the northern half of the bay.
In Cantonese, Tseung Kwan (將軍) means the "General" of an army, and O (澳) means "bay". Therefore, Tseung Kwan O literally means "General's Bay".
The exact origin of the name Tseung Kwan O is unknown, but it is said to be named in honour of a Ming Dynasty general who visited Tseung Kwan O at some point. Another theory is that the name was chosen in the 17th century, when naval battles were fought against pirates from Japan at Tseung Kwan O. Yet another theory is that the pronunciation of "將軍" sounds like "Junk" in English.
The English name Junk Bay was said to be derived from the existence of junks in the bay. The Junk Island is in the southeastern part of the bay.

[edit] History and geography
The bay is near the eastern mouth of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour.
Before new town development, the area around the bay was occupied by a number of fishing towns and villages. The Tseung Kwan O Village in the northern tip of the bay is about 600 years old. Other towns and villages include Rennie's Mill, Hang Hau and Yau Yu Wan. Rennie's Mill was where Kuomintang loyalists were settled following the end of the Chinese civil war, and Hang Hau had a ship building industry.
The Hong Kong Government had been interested in developing a new town at Hang Hau because of its proximity to the urban area. The project was postponed for a long time owing to the extensive scale of reclamation in the bay, which is rather deep. It finally started under the name of Tseung Kwan O.

Tseung Kwan O was originally a squid Bay, Hang Hau, Tiu Keng Leng, and other places surrounded by the Gulf, as early as the 13th century, the Ming dynasty had already been settled here

Previously on the Tseung Kwan O in the English translation there is a controversy, some people advocate the use of the old English name Junk Bay (or intended for the garbage Bay Yacht Bay), some people suggested that the use of the new English translation Tseung Kwan O. Only gradually in recent years to unify the Tseung Kwan O as part of the land titles, but still more to the Gulf Junk Bay label.

將軍澳是香港新市鎮之一，位於新界西貢區，但由於非常接近觀塘，車程不多於15分鐘，故不少人把將軍澳視為九龍的一部份。


將軍澳本來是一個由魷魚灣、坑口、調景嶺等地包圍的海灣，早在13世紀的明朝就已有人在這裡定居

從前關於將軍澳的英文譯名有一段爭議，有些人主張使用英文舊名Junk Bay（意為垃圾灣或帆船灣），又有些人主張採用英文新譯Tseung Kwan O。到了近年才漸漸統一稱為Tseung Kwan O稱呼陸地部分，但海灣仍多以Junk Bay標示。

將軍澳的名稱的正確來源並不可考，據說是在明朝時候某位將軍敗走到今將軍澳現址，最後傷重死去。後人為紀念這位將軍，除在原地安葬該將軍外，還把安葬地稱作「將軍澳」以作紀念。

以前將軍澳是一個人煙稀少的海灣，只有坑口村才有較多人口，另外在海灣北面盡頭有將軍澳村。直到1980年代中後期，港英政府在將軍澳開山填海發展成將軍澳新市鎮，將軍澳成為香港第七個新市鎮，先在寶林和山上的翠林建公共屋村，然後是坑口—厚德邨，最後輪到尚德邨及將軍澳中心一帶，和將軍澳南。

將軍澳於1982年正式被香港政府發展為新市鎮，並分為三期發展。第一期發展的有寶琳、翠林，第二期發展的為將軍澳中心、坑口，第三期發展的為調景嶺。

Historical Background

Settlements in the area began as early as in the 13th Century. Major settlements, however, did not occur until the late 16th Century when small fishing villages were founded. Hang Hau, which emerged into a market town, was once the most populated and prosperous place in the whole of Clear Water Bay Peninsula. The area continued to be dominated by rural uses in the next few centuries.
In the 1960s, industrial activities flourished in Tseung Kwan O. Ship building, ship repairing, ship breaking and steel rolling were the main industries. Other industries included manufacturing of non-ferrous metal products and production of industrial gases. Many of these industries relied on marine access. They have been gradually phased out or relocated since 1982 when the Government approved the development of Tseung Kwan O as a new town.

In 1983, development of Phase I of the New Town to an initial population of about 175,000 was formally endorsed. In 1986, the Government decided to proceed with the construction of the two tubes of Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, which provided scope for further increasing the population of the New Town. To maximise the utilisation of the road infrastructure and to meet the demand for land for public housing, in 1987, the Government decided that the New Town should include a Phase II development and be planned to an increased population of 325,000. To cater for redevelopment of the Tiu Keng Leng Cottage Area and to provide land for development of Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate and deep waterfront industries, in 1988, the Government further decided to proceed with Phase III development of the New Town for about 450,000 subject to detailed feasibility study. The current Outline Zoning Plan and Outline Development Plan of Tseung Kwan O provide for a total planned population of 490,000. Population intake into the New Town started in 1988.

[編輯] 歷史
將軍澳本來是一個由魷魚灣、坑口、調景嶺等地包圍的海灣，早在13世紀的明朝就已有人在這裡定居[1]。

從前關於將軍澳的英文譯名有一段爭議，有些人主張使用英文舊名Junk Bay（意為垃圾灣或帆船灣），又有些人主張採用英文新譯Tseung Kwan O。到了近年才漸漸統一稱為Tseung Kwan O稱呼陸地部分，但海灣仍多以Junk Bay標示。

將軍澳的名稱的正確來源並不可考，據說是在明朝時候某位將軍敗走到今將軍澳現址，最後傷重死去。後人為紀念這位將軍，除在原地安葬該將軍外，還把安葬地稱作「將軍澳」以作紀念。

以前將軍澳是一個人煙稀少的海灣，只有坑口村才有較多人口，另外在海灣北面盡頭有將軍澳村。直到1980年代中後期，港英政府在將軍澳開山填海發展成將軍澳新市鎮，將軍澳成為香港第七個新市鎮，先在寶林和山上的翠林建公共屋村，然後是坑口—厚德邨，最後輪到尚德邨及將軍澳中心一帶，和將軍澳南。

將軍澳於1982年正式被香港政府發展為新市鎮，並分為三期發展。第一期發展的有寶琳、翠林，第二期發展的為將軍澳中心、坑口，第三期發展的為調景嶺。

在未來，將軍澳第56區將會成為未來政府重點發展的地區，該地區將會興建室內單車場、大型運動場等。

將軍澳早在明朝(即1368年-1627年,距今600多年),時候已經有人居住。由於將軍澳位於海邊,所以600多年來都是而漁業及農業維生。亦由於是海邊,所有亦有生產少量鹽。由南宋時期直至英國殖民初期都是海邊關卡。將軍澳這個名稱曾經有不同的說法。在明朝開始有人稱此地為將軍澳,原因是將軍澳這裡的確曾經有一位將軍經過。明朝末年,有一位將軍因為戰敗而流落坑口村,被村民發現,但後來亦因傷重逝世。坑口居民為了紀念對這位將軍,於是在今日保良局甲子年中學對面的山坡上聳立墓碑作憑弔,村民都稱此地為將軍地,每年亦有村民到此拜祭,直至將軍澳發展為止。亦因此命這一帶為「將軍澳」。可惜將軍地在政府發展將軍澳後已被動土,現在已經消失了。

清朝時代將軍澳稱為將軍凹,已有不少村民。由於將軍澳地理利於避船,由明朝開始已經成為一個重要的避風塘。在明朝地圖中都明確列明「將軍澳此帶皆宜泊船」。

百多年前,將軍澳被英國人名為垃圾灣( Junk Bay), 意思是堆放垃圾的海灣,而事實上將軍澳的土地,大多是由垃圾堆填出來的,垃圾灣這個名字用了幾乎有百年之久,最後政府近年才將垃圾灣這名字改回將軍澳。(所以將軍澳官立中學以前的英文亦是 Junk Bay Government Secondary School)。

由於利於泊船,在坑口及將軍澳一帶曾經是一個重要的船塢。60年代,不少商船都來此維修,甚至在70年代更加有美國航空母艦。

1982年,這是將軍澳的轉捩點。因為政府正式發展將軍澳為新市鎮,使它成為一個擁有49萬人口的新市鎮。
