Fangliao

Fangliao ( Chinese  枋寮鄉 , Pinyin Fangliao Xiang , W.-G. catch one -liao 23 Hsiang 1 , PEH OE jī CPang-Liau-hiong ) is a rural municipality in Pingtung County on Taiwan ( Republic of China ).

location

Fangliao is located on the south coast of Taiwan, on the western edge of the central mountains and at the southeast end of the Pingtung Plain . The neighboring communities are Fangshan in the south, Chunri and Laiyi in the east, Xinpi in the north and Linbian in the west. The community is bordered by the sea (the Taiwan Strait ) to the southwest .

history

The first Han Chinese settlers came to the country in 1693, during the reign of Kangxi from the Chinese coastal province of Fujian . The place name 枋寮 , Fāngliáo literally means "(sandel) wood hut" and indicates the earlier importance of wood extraction. After the shipwreck of the American merchant ship Rover and the subsequent American punitive expedition to Formosa in 1867 , the Qing administration increasingly penetrated southern Taiwan and the town of Fangliao was incorporated into the administrative district of Fengshan ( 鳳山縣 ). At the time of the Japanese rule (1895-1945), Fangliao was reorganized into a "village" ( 枋寮 庄 , Fāngliáo Zhuāng ) in 1920 . After the Republic of China took over Taiwan in 1945, the village became a rural community ( 鄉 , Xiāng ) in Pingtung County, which was newly founded in 1950.

population

According to official statistics, at the end of 2017 694 people (around 2.9%) belonged to the indigenous peoples . That was roughly the Taiwanese average.
