Tai Wai Tsuen was founded by the Wong clan and the Choi clan around the early 16th century.[1]

Tai Wai Tsuen is part of the Tung Tau alliance (東頭約)[2] or "Joint Meeting Group of Seven Villages", together with Nam Pin Wai, Tung Tau Tsuen, Choi Uk Tsuen, Ying Lung Wai, Shan Pui Tsuen and Wong Uk Tsuen.[3] The Yi Shing Temple in Wong Uk Tsuen is an alliance temple of the Tung Tau Alliance.[2]
