In 1661, Cheng Cheng-Kung (KOXINGA) and his troops recovered Taiwan from the Dutch,
renamed Chin-Kan City as Dong dou ming jing, and established two counties establish the Cheng-Tien Fu in Taiwan. One, in the north, was named Tien-Hsing County and the other, in the south, was named Wan-Nien County, which was the forerunner of Kaohsiung County.
In 1683, Cheng Ke-Shuang, son of Cheng Cheng-Kung, surrendered to the Manchu government and Taiwan became a part of the territory of the Ching Dynasty. At that time, Taiwan was divided into one Fu and three Counties. One of which, Feng-Shan County, its capital was located at Hsing-Lung Chuang (now in Tzoying district, Kaohsiung City). In 1704, Sung Yung-Ching, magistrate of Feng-Shan County, established his administration office in the southeastern part of Hsing-Lung Chuang. Later, in 1788, the capital of Feng-Shan County was moved to Po-Tou street,Ta Chu Li (now in Feng-Shan City).
In 1945, Taiwan returned to the territory of China from Japanese occupation. On Jan.8,1946, The Kaohsiung County government was formally set up at the high school of Kaohsiung. The Taiwan government administration office appointed Mr. Hsieh Tung-Min as the first commissioner of Kaohsiung County.
In 1947, the Taiwan government administration office was abolished and established Taiwan province government. Because the administration district of Hsiang/ Town/City was reorganized in 1949, Kaohsiung County, after combining with Pingtung City, was divided into KaohsiungCounty and Pingtung County. |
