In the 19th century, Ting Kok was the centre of the wider San On ({{zh|t=新安|labels=no}}) Roman Catholic missionary district. It was also an established transit point used by missionaries on their way into mainland China. The mission was set up in 1866, and 19 residents were baptised as the first batch of local Catholics.^[3]
