History

Early history

The Atayal Taiwanese aborigines as well as several Taiwanese Plains Aborigines tribes (including the Taokas, Papora, Pazeh, Hoanya and Babuza people) populated the plains that make up modern Taichung. They were originally hunter gatherers who later lived by cultivating millet and taro. Several local names in central Taiwan, such Lukang in Changhua County contain "鹿," the word for “deer.” In the 17th century, the Papora, Babuza, Pazeh, and Hoanya established the Kingdom of Middag, occupying the western part of present-day Taichung.
