The boundaries of the New Territories has changed with time. First defined by the Second Convention of Peking, it originally consisted of the mainland area north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula and south of the Sham Chun River (now the border between Hong Kong and mainland China), along with over 200 outlying islands, including Lantau Island, Lamma Island, Cheung Chau, and Peng Chau.

Nevertheless, New Kowloon remains statutorily part of the New Territories.
