It was named after [[Queen Victoria]], the [[British Monarchy|Queen of the United Kingdom]]. In 1857, the British government expanded Victoria City and divided it into seven districts, including [[Sai Ying Pun]], [[Sheung Wan]], [[Tai Ping Shan]] and Central. These were located in the area that is now the Central, Western and Wanchai districts. Victoria City is technically the capital of Hong Kong. However, the name is rarely used today. == References == <references/> == Other websites == {{Commons category-inline|Victoria City}} * [https://archive.org/details/cu31924071143832 Historical and statistical abstract of the colony of Hongkong (1907)] {{coord|22|16|42|N|114|10|28|E|region:CN-91_type:city(1063646)_source:dewiki|display=title}} {{multistub|geo|Asia}} [[Category:Geography of Hong Kong]]
