plunderer anime season 1
Name[edit] New Taipei City was known as Taipei County before its promotion to special municipality status in 2010. The name of the new municipality (新北市, literally "New Northern City") was at first rendered in English as Xinbei City via pinyin romanization,[6][7] but
both candidates for the city's first mayoral election opposed the name. Consequently, citing public opinion, the inaugural mayor, Eric Chu, requested and received approval from the Ministry of the Interior (MOI) to render the name in English as New Taipei City. [8][9] This rendering became
official on 31 December 2010. History[edit] Early history[edit] Archeological records show that New Taipei City had been
inhabited since the
Neolithic period, with artifacts dug in Bali District having shown remains as early as 7000 to 4700 BC. The region around New Taipei City area was once inhabited by Ketagalan plains aborigines, and evidence shows that the Atayal had inhabited Wulai District. The earliest recorded migration by people from mainland China dated back as early as 1620, when the local tribes were driven into the mountain areas. Over the years, many of the aborigines have assimilated into the general population. [10] Qing dynasty[edit] During the Qing Dynasty rule of Taiwan, the Han Chinese people began to settle in the area now designated as New Taipei City in 1694 and the number of immigrants from mainland China had further increased. After decades of development and prosperity, Tamsui had become an international commercial port by 1850. British consulate and stores were established in the region, which helped promote the local tea business, resulting in massive tea leaf exports to Europe.
