History

The village historically shared a single higher earthgod shrine with Cheung Lek Mei, Kau To and Ma Liu Shui. All were part of the Fo Tan Yeuk (火炭約).[2]

In the early 20th century, the villagers of Ma Niu generated a large part of their income from selling fuel cut from the extensive woods which were to be found near the village.[2]
