Background
The original Cheung Sha Wan Estate opened between 1963 and 1964 as the Cheung Sha Wan Government Low Cost Housing Estate ({{zh|t=長沙灣政府廉租屋邨}}). It was renamed following the 1973 establishment of the Housing Authority. All thirteen blocks of this estate were demolished in 2001 as part of the Comprehensive Redevelopment Programme, announced in 1995. Most displaced residents were moved to the nearby Fortune Estate.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hkmemory.hk/MHK/collections/public_housing/All_Items/images/201307/t20130702_61460.html?f=classinfo&cp=深水埗區&ep=Sham%C2%A0Shui%C2%A0Po&path=/MHK/collections/public_housing/All_Items/9099/9131/9119/index_4.html|title=Cheung Sha Wan Estate|work=Hong Kong Memory|access-date=17 August 2021}}
