Hualien County annals ({{lang|zh-hant|花蓮縣志}}) record that the city was called "Kilai" ({{zh|t=奇萊|poj=Kî-lâi}}) until the early twentieth century.

After Taiwan came under [[Taiwan under Japanese rule|Japanese rule]] in 1895 its governors sought to change the name because "Kilai" is pronounced the same as the Japanese word for {{nihongo|"dislike"|嫌い|kirai}}. The name was eventually changed to {{nihongo|Karen Harbour|花蓮港|Karenkō|lead=yes}}. After [[World War II]] the incoming [[Kuomintang]]-led [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]] retained the [[Kanji]] spelling but shortened the name to just {{nihongo4||花蓮|Karen}}, or ''Hualien'' via [[Chinese romanization]]. |

The [[Spaniard]]s built mines for gold in Hualien in 1622. Permanent settlements began in 1851, when 2,200 [[Han Chinese]] farmers led by Huang A-fong (黃阿鳳) from [[Taipei]] arrived at Fengchuan (now the area near Hualien Rear Station). In 1875, more farmers, led by Lin Cang-an (林蒼安) from [[Yilan County, Taiwan|Yilan]], settled at Fengchuan.{{citation needed|date=April 2016}} |

Settlements in the area remained small by the start of [[Taiwan under Japanese rule|Japanese rule]]. The city was expanded circa 1912 by its Japanese governor to incorporate ''Guohua'' ({{nihongo2|國華}}) and ''Guoan'' ({{nihongo2|國安}}) Villages, a region later known as {{nihongo|Old New Port|舊新港街}}. In 1920, {{nihongo4|'''Karenkō Town'''|花蓮港街}} was established, and around 1923 it was extended to {{nihongo4|''Riran'' Port|鯉浪港}}, today known as "New Port" ({{zh|c=新港|labels=no}}),<ref>{{cite web|script-title=zh:台灣旅遊景點地圖 – 花蓮縣花蓮市旅遊景點介紹|url=http://travel.network.com.tw/main/travel/hualiencounty/hualiencity.asp|website=旅遊資訊王TravelKing|access-date=17 June 2016}}</ref> including the Guowei and Guoji Villages.

Hualien City (pinyin: Huālián Shì; Wade-Giles: Hua¹-lien² Shih⁴; Hokkien POJ: Hoa-lian-chhī or Hoa-liân-chhī) is a county-administered city and the county seat of Hualien County, Taiwan. It is located on the east coast of Taiwan on the Pacific Ocean, and has a population of 99,458 inhabitants.[3]
Name
[edit]Hualien County annals (花蓮縣志) record that the city was called "Kilai" (Chinese: 奇萊; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kî-lâi) until the early twentieth century. This name refers to the Sakiraya Taiwanese aborigines and their settlement.[4]
After Taiwan came under Japanese rule in 1895 its governors sought to change the name because "Kilai" is pronounced the same as the Japanese word for "dislike" (嫌い, kirai). The name was eventually changed to Karen Harbour (Japanese: 花蓮港, Hepburn: Karenkō). After World War II the incoming Kuomintang-led Republic of China retained the Kanji spelling but shortened the name to just Karen (花蓮), or Hualien via Chinese romanization.
History
[edit]The Spaniards built mines for gold in Hualien in 1622. Permanent settlements began in 1851, when 2,200 Han Chinese farmers led by Huang A-fong (黃阿鳳) from Taipei arrived at Fengchuan (now the area near Hualien Rear Station). In 1875, more farmers, led by Lin Cang-an (林蒼安) from Yilan, settled at Fengchuan.[citation needed]
Settlements in the area remained small by the start of Japanese rule. The city was expanded circa 1912 by its Japanese governor to incorporate Guohua (國華) and Guoan (國安) Villages, a region later known as Old New Port (舊新港街). In 1920, Karenkō Town (花蓮港街) was established, and around 1923 it was extended to Riran Port (鯉浪港), today known as "New Port" (新港),[5] including the Guowei and Guoji Villages. In 1940, the town was upgraded to Karenkō City, Karenkō Prefecture.
On 25 October 1945, Taiwan was handed over from Japan to the Republic of China under Kuomintang government. In January 1946, the incoming Kuomintang designated Hualien City a county-administered city of Hualien County and to be the county seat.
On 3 April 2024, a major earthquake struck near Hualien.[6]
Subdivisions
[edit]The 45 villages (里) of the city are divided into six village unions (聯合里): (in Hanyu Pinyin)
- The first union: Minyun (民運), Minle (民樂), Minxiang (民享), Minyi (民意), Minxin (民心), Minli (民立), Minde (民德), Minzheng (民政), Minqin (民勤), Minxiao (民孝)
- The second union: Minsheng (民生), Minquan (民權), Minzu (民族), Minyou (民有), Minzhu (民主), Minzhi (民治)
- The third union: Zhuji (主計), Zhuyi (主義), Zhuxin (主信), Zhuqin (主勤), Zhushang (主商), Zhugong (主工)
- The fourth union: Zhuxue (主學), Zhuquan (主權), Zhunong (主農), Zhuhe (主和), Zhuli (主力), Zhu'an (主安), Zhumu (主睦)
- The fifth union: Guofeng (國風), Guofang (國防), Guozhi (國治), Guoguang (國光), Guohun (國魂), Guo'an (國安), Guowei (國威), Guohua (國華), Guolian (國聯), Guosheng (國盛)
- The sixth union: Guofu (國富), Guoyu (國裕), Guoqing (國慶), Guoqiang (國強), Guofu (國福), Guoxing (國興)
