History edit

Jordan Valley was named after Gregory Paul Jordan, a British-Indian doctor for his contribution in plague fighting efforts.[1]: 32 

The reservoir was built in the 1950s which provided flushing water to residents in Ngau Tau Kok. The reservoir has since become disused and is now a refuse reclamation area. A battery was also found in Jordan Valley quarry but was later removed due to the urban development project.

Education edit

Jordan Valley is in Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 46. Within the school net are multiple aided schools (operated independently but funded with government money); no government primary schools are in this net.[2]
