香港開埠
香港開埠（英文：the foundation of Hong Kong[1][2]或者 the founding of Hong Kong[3][4]）即係1841年1月26號英國人開始喺香港實行統治。
1841年1月21號，英國海軍上將義律同兩廣總督琦善私底下議訂《穿鼻草約》，大清要割讓香港島畀大英帝國。同年1月26號，義律帶領英國海軍喺香港島水坑口登陸，升起英國旗，被睇成香港開埠嘅開始。

After the founding of Hong Kong, Charles Elliot, the British Plenipotentiary, appointed Captain William Caine of the 26th Infantry Regiment as Chief Police Magistrate to maintain law and order on the island. Having the post filled by a military man reflected the infancy of the occupation.
