In early 1840, the British Army had set a
military camp in Happy Valley. However, the camp was later closed due
to the increasing number of soldiers succumbing to malaria. The cause of
malaria was unknown at the time and the soldiers apparently suffered a
then-unknown fever. Early settlers had suggested the area to be used as a
business centre, but the suggestion was put off due to the valley’s
marshy environment, which was causing fatal diseases. The death rate in
the area and Victoria City was high in the early colonial days, and the
valley became a burial ground for the dead. As a result, the valley was
renamed as Happy Valley, a common euphemism for cemeteries. In 1846, the
British felt that the valleyed terrain was ideal for horse-racing, and
thus cleared the paddy fields and developed the Happy Valley Racecourse.
For this, the Wong Nai Chung river was recoursed to Bowrinton Canal,
known as Ngo Keng Kan locally, beside reclamation of Wan Chai. The
canal is presently covered under Canal Road.
In 1922, Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital located in Happy Valley started operation.
