Notes

  • The name 臺中 (Taichū; meaning "central Taiwan", hence Taitiofng) was bestowed by the Japanese rulers after Taiwan was ceded to Japan by the Treaty of Shimonoseki (1895).
  • Was called 大墩 (Toaxtwn 🔊) before being designated by the Qing as capital of the island (Taioaan-huo 🔊) in 1887. Tailaam had been the capital for the previous 200 years.
  • The government intended to only temporarily move to Taipag while Toaxtwn was being upgraded...however, the move became permanent.
