During the Japanese occupation period, the government established the Taipei, Tainan and Taiwan prefectures and Penghu Subprefecture. Taichung was under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Prefecture. Its name was subsequently changed to Taiwan Subprefecture, then to Taichung County, and finally to Taichung City. |
