The [[Yilan Plain]] in which the city is located has historically been referred to as '''Kapalan''' ({{zh|c=蛤仔難|poj=Kap-á-lān|labels=yes}}),<ref>{{holodict|40193|e=蛤仔難}}</ref> '''Kapsulan''' ({{zh|c=蛤仔蘭|poj=Kap-chú-lân|labels=no}}; also 甲子蘭), '''Komalan''' ({{zh|c=噶瑪蘭|poj=Kat-má-lán|labels=no}}), etc. These names, as well as that of Yilan itself, were given to the sites by the [[Kavalan people|Kavalan]] tribe of [[Taiwanese aborigine]]s. Later arrivals included [[Han Chinese]] settlers during the Qing Dynasty in China (1802) and settlers from [[Okinawa]] during Taiwan's [[Taiwan under Japanese rule|Japanese era]] (1895-1945).

In 1810 under [[Taiwan under Qing rule|Qing dynasty rule]], a formal administration office was established at '''Wuwei''' (五圍) and "Komalan Subprefecture" ({{zh|c=噶瑪蘭廳|poj=Kat-má-lán Thiaⁿ|labels=no}}) was at the present day location of Yilan City. Construction of the city wall was completed a year later. After a few years once the basic infrastructure was ready, the city assumed the political, economical, cultural and educational center for the [[Lanyang Plain]]. In 1878, Komalan was a large rice production area commonly called ''Kapsulan'', and became a district called ''Gilan Hsien''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Davidson |first1=James W. |author-link=James W.

Yilan City (Mandarin pinyin: Yílán Shì; Hokkien POJ: Gî-lân-chhī) is a county-administered city and the county seat of Yilan County, Taiwan. The city lies on the north side of the Lanyang River.

History

[edit]

The Yilan Plain in which the city is located has historically been referred to as Kapalan (Chinese: 蛤仔難; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kap-á-lān),[2] Kapsulan (蛤仔蘭; Kap-chú-lân; also 甲子蘭), Komalan (噶瑪蘭; Kat-má-lán), etc. These names, as well as that of Yilan itself, were given to the sites by the Kavalan tribe of Taiwanese aborigines. Later arrivals included Han Chinese settlers during the Qing dynasty in China (1802) and settlers from Okinawa during Taiwan's Japanese era (1895–1945).

Qing dynasty

[edit]

In 1810 under Qing dynasty rule, a formal administration office was established at Wuwei (五圍) and "Komalan Subprefecture" (噶瑪蘭廳; Kat-má-lán Thiaⁿ) was at the present day location of Yilan City. Construction of the city wall was completed a year later. After a few years once the basic infrastructure was ready, the city assumed the political, economical, cultural and educational center for the Lanyang Plain. In 1878, Komalan was a large rice production area commonly called Kapsulan, and became a district called Gilan Hsien.[3] It was one of the three new districts that constituted the new Taipeh Prefecture.

Empire of Japan
