History edit

After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China (ROC) on 25 October 1945, the area of present-day Miaoli County became part of Hsinchu County. In 1950, local self-government was implemented and administrative division of the ROC was adjusted in which Miaoli County was established and subsequently the country government was established on 25 October 1950. On 7 January 1951, the first term of the county councilors were elected and inaugurated on 19 January the same year.[3]
