After the World War II, a large number of squatter dwellings were built in Tai Wo Hau, on the hill between Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung, and on the fields of the villages north of Castle Peak Road. The squatter area was cleared in the 1960s for the construction of the Tai Wo Hau Resettlement Estate (大窩口徙置區).[3][4] The resettlement blocks were cleared between the 1970s and 80s. The current blocks were built between 1979 and 1993.
According to the 2016 by-census, Tai Wo Hau Estate had a population of 20,848. The median age was 47.7 and the majority of residents (96.2 per cent) were of Chinese ethnicity. The average household size was 2.7 people. The median monthly household income of all households (i.e. including both economically active and inactive households) was HK$21,280.[7]

For the 2019 District Council election, the estate fell within two constituencies. Most of the estate and Kwai Yin Court are located in the Lower Tai Wo Hau constituency, which was formerly represented by Wong Bing-kuen until July 2021,[8] while the remainder of the estate falls within the Upper Tai Wo Hau constituency, which was formerly represented by Hui Kei-cheung until July 2021.[9][8]
