history

In the Japanese period (1895-1945) Zhongpu was from October 1, 1920 a 'village' ( 庄 , Zhuāng ) in Tainan Prefecture . After the Republic of China took over Taiwan in 1946, the prefecture became Tainan County and Zhongpu became a 'rural community' ( 鄉 , Xiang ). On October 25, 1950, parts of Tainan County formed the new Chiayi County, and Zhongpu has been part of Chiayi County ever since. In October 1964, a small area adjustment took place which Zhongpu lost some areas in the east to the neighboring community Fanlu.
