1.The History
A city built with bamboo, it was known as Chu-Shin. During the Ching Dynasty, it was renamed Hsinchu. In the 21st Year of Kuan Hsu's Regime, Hsinchu Sub Office was established, responsible for independent administration on June 24. In June of the 24th Year of Kuang Hsu's Regime, it altered its local official system again. Hsinchu County was abolished. It was then under the administration of Hsinchu Administration Office, Taipei County. On November 11, 27th Year of Kuang Hsu's Regime, it established the Hsinchu Office. In 1920, Hsinchu Street was established, with the founding of Hsinchu Street District Office. In 1930, the city system was applied. It was renamed as Hsinchu City, under the governing of Hsinchu Chou, with the establishment of Hsinchu City Office. In 1941, its administration district was expanded, merging with Hsian Shan and Chiou Kang, and became a part of Liu Chia Chuang.
On October 25, 1945, Taiwan was restituted. The Hsinchu Chou Committee took over the administration from the Japanese and governed Hsinchu Chou. Hsinchu City Government was established then. In 1946, the Take Over Committee dissolved and Hsinchu County Government was formed. Hsinchu County Government was moved to Taoyuan. As the admi nistrative districts were readjusted, it became a Provincially governed city, using the original Chou office as its legal office, with seven district offices. In February of the same year, representative congress was formed in every district. On April 15,City Congress was formed. Provincial Representatives were elected from the city legislators, to become legislative bodies of different levels.
On August 16 1950, the administrative districts in Taiwan were re-adjusted once more, demarcating 16 counties and 5 provincially governed citie.
In June 1982, under the President's order, the Hsian Shan Village of Hsin-Chu County would mergeinto Hsinchu City, and changed into a Provincially governed city.
The Provincial government City Hsinchu Government was legally established on July 1, 1982, with 103 lis, and 1,635 lins. The City Government is located on 120 Chung Cheng Road, the former Hsinchu Chou Office.
