The Tai Poo peoples from Cha Yang town arrived in Kuching at the beginning of the 20th century. They were mainly engaged in the tin smith, traditional medicine, noodles businesses. In 1916, the Tai Poo clan established “Pu Yi Gong Suo” (埔邑公所). Four years later, the association bought a three storey shop (Shop no. 43) at Carpenter Street and turned it into the association office. On the roof top, a small altar is set up to worship the God of Prosperity.
In 1923, Pu Yi Gong Suo operated Tai Tung School until 1930s. The school then merged with the Gong Min School which was operated by Kaying Community Association. The merged school was under the management of Sarawak Hakka Association. In 1951, the association changed its name to Tai Poo Association. In the 1960s, the association moved to its present location at Tabuan Road.
大埔同乡会
来自茶阳地区的大埔人在20世纪初来到古晋老巴刹，主要从事打白铁、药材铺、卖面等。在1916年，大埔人创立了同乡会“埔邑公所”，4年后在亚答街购买门牌43号的三层楼店铺作为会所。在三楼的天台上，当年设有一座小神庙，供奉财神爷。
1923年，埔邑公所开办大同学校，一直到1930年代，这所学校与嘉应五属同乡会办的学校合并，交由新成立的客属公会继续办学。到了1951年，公会易名为大埔同乡会。1960年代，大埔同乡会搬迁到达闽路现址。
