The City of Victoria, often called Victoria City or simply Victoria, was the de facto capital of Hong Kong during the British Colonial Period. It was initially named Queenstown but was soon known as Victoria. It was one of the first urban settlements in Hong Kong and almost all government departments still have their head offices located within its limit. The boundaries of Victoria City are recorded in the Laws of Hong Kong.
