Lam Tin is the hill area at the southeast of Kwun Tong District. There was a resettlement estate in the area, called Lam Tin Resettlement Estate (Chinese: 藍田徙置區) in the 1960s.

The resettlement estate comprised a total of 23 blocks. Block 15 was the 500th public estate building constructed by the Works Bureau. All the blocks in the estate were demolished in Lam Tin Estate Redevelopment Project (Chinese: 藍田邨重建計劃) between the 1980s and 2000s. They were replaced by new blocks of Kai Tin Estate (Chinese: 啟田邨), Ping Tin Estate (Chinese: 平田邨), On Tin Estate (Chinese: 安田邨) and new Lam Tin Estate (Chinese: 藍田邨).

Lam Tin Post Office opened 1976.05.31 and is currently (August 2019) located at: Shop No.115, Kai Tin Shopping Centre, Kai Tin Estate, Lam Tin.
