History

[edit]

The original inhabitants of the area were the Pazeh people, who inhabited the Taichung Basin. The first Han settlers arrived in 1701, led by Liao Chao Kong (廖朝孔) and Chang Da Jing (張達京).[4] As a result, the Pazeh people were pushed out of the area, and most of them migrated to Puli, Nantou.[5] Many of its prehistory artifacts can be found at the Huilai Monument Archaeology Park.

The district was part of Taichung provincial city before the merger with Taichung County to form Taichung special municipality on 25 December 2010.
