Some history
- originally a village of the Taiwanese Plains Aborigines which they called "Akau", meaning "forest"
- After the expulsion of the Dutch, the village grew into a Chinese market-town called Akaau (阿猴).
- This name was then transferred into the 1901 Japanese-era administrative region called Akō Chō (阿猴廳) and then the 1909 Akō Chō (阿緱廳, modified Kanji).
- Beginning in 1920, the name was changed to Heitō Town (Jidguo: 屏東街 Heitō-gai)
