History
Before opening on May 31, 1985, names proposed for this station included: North Chai Wan (北柴灣站), Agonar or A Kung Ngam (阿公岩站), Chai Wan Quay (柴灣碼頭站), and Pak Sha Wan (白沙灣站). It was after the opening of phase one (of the Heng Fa Chuen development) that prompted the MTR to change the name to Heng Fa Chuen. This station was primarily one for construction workers in the early 1980s, during the construction of Heng Fa Chuen.Station layout
