At the end of Ming Dynasty, before Han people came, Fengshan was
a wild land. In 1661, when Cheng, Chen-Kung occupied Taiwan, Chu-Chiao
Chuang （竹橋庄）was established in Shuan-Chih- Ting-Temple（雙慈亭）,
and it was the starting place for Fengshan. Since Chu-Chiao-Chuang（竹橋庄）
and Hsing-Lung Chuang（興隆庄） in Tsengying had the biggest populations,
we called them Hsia-Pi-Tou. （下陂頭） |

In 1683, Ching Dynasty occupied Taiwan, and put it into Ching
Dynasty territory. Hsia-Pi-Tou's population increased quickly,
so it became the largest city in Fengshan County. After the Lin, Shuan-Wen
incident in 1786, the offical suggested that the government move the
public office from Hsin-Lung-Chuang to the Hsia-Pi-Tou because of
the security factors. From this moment on, Fengshan has gained its
important position in the south of Taiwan.

In 1837, after Tsao Chin, Fengshan County commissioner , dug Tsao-Kung
Ditch, the paddy fields in Fengshan began to have two harvests a year,
which freed the resident in southern Taiwan from the famine. |

In 1895, after the failure of Chia-Wu War, according to the Agreement
of Ma-Kuan between Ching Dynasty and Japan, Taiwan was given to Japan.
After many times of shifting of administration, Fengshan became one
of the administration areas of Kaohsiung County named Fengshan Street.
In 1945 Taiwan came back from Japan's rule, and in 1946 she belonged
to Kaohsiung County named Fengshan Town. Because the population increased
to one hundred thousand in 1970, and Fengshan Town was upgraded into
Fengshan City. |
