Fong in Chinese means a place smaller than a village, so the theatre was named after the place it was located.  The source gives only its Chinese name so the English name shown on this page is selected to pronounce the same as its Chinese name.

Po Hing Theatre opened in 1890, but its closing date is unknown.
