## History

[edit]

During the Dutch colonial era the area was known as Bakloan[1] or Baccloan,[2][failed verification] with a rarer spelling of Baccaluang. The village was one of four main aboriginal villages near the Dutch base of Tayouan, with around 1,500 inhabitants.[3] It was located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) northeast of the Dutch base at Fort Zeelandia.

### Republic of China

[edit]

After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Anding was organized as a rural township of Tainan County. On 25 December 2010, Tainan County was merged with Tainan City and Anding was upgraded to a district of the city.

Anding district consists of Sulin, Sucuo, Anding, Baoxi, Anjia, Gangwei, Nanan, Guanliao, Zhongrong, Gangkou, Hailiao, Datong, Liujia, Gangnan, Zhongsa and Xinji Borough.[4]
