Kwai Fong is named after Kwai Fong Estate, a public housing estate. Kwai (葵) is the first Chinese character of Kwai Chung. Before the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) served the area, there were only few private residential blocks west of the estate.
Kwai Fong is in Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 65, which includes multiple aided schools (schools operated independently of the government but funded with government money); none of the schools in the net are government schools.[1]
