劉皇發是新界鄉事派的代表人物,有「新界王」之稱。他一九三六年十月出生於屯門龍鼓灘,為新界原居民。他自一九八零年起出任新界鄉議局主席,連任多屆,前後領導鄉議局達三十五年,是該局歷來在任最久的主席之一;一九八二年出任屯門區議會主席,一九八五年起獲委任為立法局議員,並曾任區域市政局議員,長期在鄉事及地區層面累積影響力。回歸後,他長期循鄉議局功能界別出任立法會議員,至二零一六年才退下議席,其席位由長子劉業強接棒。他亦是自由黨創黨成員之一,並曾獲行政長官曾蔭權委任為行政會議非官守成員(二零零九年至二零一二年)。由於在新界擁有大量土地及物業,他被外界稱為「新界王」或「新界土皇帝」,一九七七年更有一所以其命名的中學落成。他長期代表新界原居民爭取權益,關注鄉村發展、土地政策及傳統權益等議題,每年農曆新年更代表鄉議局為香港求籤,其籤文往往成為社會關注的焦點。他於二零零五年獲頒特區最高榮譽大紫荊勳章,並先後獲頒金紫荊星章、OBE 及委任為太平紳士,其妻吳妹珠,育有五名子女。二零一七年七月二十三日,他因病辭世,終年八十歲,其在新界事務上的角色由其子及鄉議局後人延續。他一生與新界土地及鄉村事務結下不解之緣,既為原居民爭取傳統權益,亦不時面對外界對其土地利益的質疑。

Born in Lung Kwu Tan, Tuen Mun, in October 1936, he was a New Territories indigenous inhabitant. From 1980 he chaired the Heung Yee Kuk, the body representing rural interests, leading it for 35 years across many terms, and he was chairman of the Tuen Mun District Council from 1982. Appointed to the Legislative Council in 1985, he later represented the Heung Yee Kuk functional constituency until 2016, when his son Kenneth Lau succeeded him. A founder of the Liberal Party, he was also a non-official member of the Executive Council from 2009 to 2012. Because of his extensive land and property holdings he was dubbed the New Territories' 'land emperor'. He received the Grand Bauhinia Medal in 2005, the Gold Bauhinia Star, and the OBE, and was a Justice of the Peace. He died in July 2017, aged 80.
