Nanzhuang Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan Province

Nan-juang-shiang

Nanzhuang township is named after Nanzhuang, the largest settlement in the township. Nanzhuang settlement was named Nanzhuang in ancient times because it was located in the south of tianweizhuang (today's Tianmei Village), which was developed earlier. It was renamed Nanzhuang during the Japanese rule period and Nanzhuang Township after World War II. Different from other townships, after World War II, the "street" in the Japanese Administrative region was changed to town, and "Zhuang" was changed to township. For example, Toufen street was changed to Toufen Town, and gongguanzhuang was changed to Gongguan township. However, Nanzhuang has only two characters, so it is difficult to understand It was changed to Nanxiang for a short time, and soon retained the word Zhuang and became Nanzhuang township.
