History
The station, initially named Yaumati, was constructed on 1 October 1910 to cope with the opening of the British Section of Kowloon–Canton Railway. Yaumati was an old romanization of Yau Ma Tei, which is rarely used today. The station was renamed Mong Kok on 31 December 1968 on the grounds that it was actually in Mong Kok District.
In 1983, the station was rebuilt. A temporary station was in use just to the south (towards Hung Hom) during reconstruction. After the takeover of KCR operations by the MTR Corporation on 2 December 2007, the station was renamed to Mong Kok East. Before the MTR–KCR merger, this station shared a name with the separate Mong Kok station on the Tsuen Wan and Kwun Tong lines.
