history
Human settlement in the area dates back several thousand years. Artifacts of the Neolithic Jomon pottery culture were found in the community. The oldest historically tangible inhabitants of the area are Austronesians , who belonged to different tribes. Beginning around the 19th century, the immigration of Han Chinese gradually began. During the time of the Japanese colonial rule (1895-1945) some Japanese came to the country for a time. After Taiwan was handed over to the Republic of China , Fengbin was organized as a rural community in the newly formed Taitung County.
