Hong Kong was ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Nanking in August, 1842, the island of Hong Kong quickly grew into a major city and seaport, houses, office buildings and godowns sprang up almost overnight and the harbor was soon busy with ships from most of the seven seas.

By a convention signed in October, 1860, the Kowloon peninsula on the mainland opposite was also ceded to Britain, being handed over formally in January of the following year

The amazing growth of the Colony of Hong Kong, which is less than a century was transformed from barren rock, partly covered with coarse grass, into one of the leading seaport of the world.
