history

The original inhabitants of the area were members of indigenous Austronesian peoples ( Pingpu ). From the 25 years government Kangxi (1686) began Han -Chinese settlers from mainland China immigrate. The settlers came from the area of today's Chaozhou , Huizhou (both Guangdong ), and Quanzhou ( Fujian ). By introducing irrigation systems, the immigrants made the land, which was previously very dry outside the monsoon season , arable for agricultural use. Because of its inland location, the area was given the name Neipu ( 內埔 - "inner plain"). At the time of Japanese rule (1895-1945) the village ( 庄 , Zhuāng ) Neipu was established here in 1920 , which in 1945, after the transition of the island of Taiwan to the Republic of China , was restructured into a rural community ( 鄉 , Xiāng ). Neipu has been part of Pingtung County since 1950.

population

The population of Neipu consists of about 60% Hakka . Hoklo make up about 35%. According to official statistics, at the end of 2018, 1627 people (around 3.1%) belonged to the indigenous peoples.
