-The city's old name was "Pang-kio" (枋橋, Pangkiøo, l. timbered bridge), which dates back to the [[Zhefng|Qing Dynasty]] during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1735 - 1796 AD). A wooden bridge was built for pedestrians to cross a brook located in the west of today's Banqiao. In 1920, the Japanese government modified the name (Pafnkiøo; parn+kiQo; [[wikt:板橋|板橋]]; l. planked bridge), which is read "Itabashi" in Japanese. The same name is still used today, but is called "Banqiao" in [[Mandarin]]. However, in [[Taiwanese Hokkien]], the old name "Pangkiøo" is still the norm.
