Dali District (Chinese: 大里區; pinyin: Dàlǐ Qū) is an inner city district in Taichung, Taiwan.

Name

[edit]

The name "Dali" originates from Tai-li-khit (Chinese: 大里杙; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tāi-lí-khi̍t), where Tai-li refers to the Hoanya aborigines and khit refers to a bamboo raft's toon.[1]: 75  The word "khit" (Chinese: ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Khi̍t) means a tiny wooden post, referring to the time as a port city. [2]

History

[edit]

After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Dali was organized as a rural township of Taichung County.[1]: 121  On 1 November 1993, Dali was upgraded to a county-administered city due to its population.[1]: 122  On 25 December 2010, Taichung County was merged with Taichung City and Dali was upgraded to a district of the city. [3]: 3 

Administrative divisions

The current administrative divisions can be traced back to the 1920s under the Japanese administration, during which the local government set the village, (Ōsato village (大里庄, Ōsato sō)), under the Taiton district, Taichū Shyō (臺中州, Taichū Shyō) (Taichung today). [4]: 388 

At first, the village has eight villages. [4]: 389  After the handover of Taiwan from Japan, it has changed into Dali Township (大里鄉) under Taichung Country. On November 1, 1993, Dali Township changed into Dali City (大里市). [4]: 392  In 2010, the city was renamed into Dali District under the newly founded Taichung City. [3]: 3
