The Qing Dynasty ruled over Taiwan in 1683. The following year, the Taiwan Prefecture, the political institution of the Qing Dynasty in Taiwan, was established. It consisted of three counties: Taiwan County, Fengshan County, and Zhuluo County. At that time, the Changhua area fell under the jurisdiction of Zhuluo County. In 1723, Changhua County was officially established, marking a history that spans 300 years until now.
