Taoyuan District (Chinese: 桃園區; pinyin: Táoyuán Qū), formerly known as Taoyuan City (Chinese: 桃園市; pinyin: Táoyuán Shì; Wade–Giles: T'ao-yüan Shih; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Thô-hn̂g-chhī), is a district of Taoyuan City in the northwestern part of the island of Taiwan.

History

Taoyuan City during Japanese rule of Taiwan.

Taoyuan is the native home to the Plains tribes of Taiwanese aborigines. Taoyuan's old name was 桃仔園 (pinyin: Táozǐyuán; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Thô-á-hn̂g; lit. 'peach orchard'), since there used to be many peach blossoms in the area. In 1920 under Japanese rule, the area was renamed Tōen Town (Template:Lang-ja), and incorporated into Tōen District (桃園郡), Shinchiku Prefecture as a county jurisdiction. After the Chinese Civil War, it was "Taoyuan Town, Taoyuan County". Since 21 April 1971, the name was Taoyuan City (桃園市). And on 25 December 2014, it was upgraded to Taoyuan District.

Geography

Taoyuan is located on the Taoyuan Plateau, contiguous on the northeast to Guishan District. Nankan River is the major river for Taoyuan flowing from the southeast to the northwest.
