「小香港 」 “Little Hong Kong”

1857年5月香港殖民政府公布香港島的區域劃分：
1. Victoria: from stone quarries at West Point to Hoong-heong-loo (or East Point Joss-house). Subdistricts:  Sei-ying-poon (from small village Westward to Cowee-wan-Is end of Buildings, Sheong-wan (Police Boat Station to Gibb’s Wharf), Taiping Shan, Choong-wan, Ha-wan (Murray Barracks to Observation Point), Wongneichoong, Soo-koan-poo (Observation Point to Large Rock)
2. Show-ke-wan: from Hoong-heong-loo to the village of Ngo-yun-wan, taking in Wongkok-tsui, Chut-che-moey, Shui-cheang-wan, Showkewan, and Ngo-yun-wan
3. Sai Wan: village of that name
4. Sheak O: village of that name, including Hok-tsui village
5. Ty-tam Took: village of that name
6. Stanley: village of that name, including villages Ty-tam, Ka-sew-wan, Wong-ma-kok,
7. Heong-Kong: village of that name
8. Aberdeen: village of that name, including Aap-le-chow
9. Pok-foo-lum: village of that name.

很明顯是以人群聚集地和村落而劃分出來的。其中的「Heong-kong」是指「香港村」或者香港圍，即今日的黃竹坑的舊圍村一帶。1864年1月底的官立學校的報告中，「Heong-kong」已經改為「Little Hong Kong」，即「小香港」之義，和後來的「香港仔」是有分別的。從1857年到1864年之間，具體何時開始使用「Little Hong Kong」，不得而知。
