Introduction

　　There are two legends behind the origin of the name “Hsiang-Shan”. First，it was said that in the age when Zheng Chenggong administered Taiwan， this place was nameless and occupied by a tribe of Taokas aboriginals also called “Chu-Chien-Fan-She”. After the Han people drifted overseas to Taiwan， on seeing what a fertile place Da-Ping-Ding plain was，they filled plenty of unknown wild flowers and plants which let out a sweet aroma，thus giving the place the name of “Hsiang-Shan” (Chinese character meaning sweet smelling mountain). The second origin was handed down from the scholar clique Lin， Hsiu-Chun of Lu-Tzu-Ken area that said， “Hsiang-Shan district was inhabited by Chu-Chien- Fan-She people， the Han people first called it ‘Fan-Shan' and changed it to ‘Hsiang-Shan' afterwards because it didn't sound good.”

　　In 1950，The Taiwan province carried out Districts Mark-Off Plan to support local government systems when Hsiang-Shan was marked as a village. A village administrative office was established in December of the same year under the jurisdiction of Hsinchu County. In July 1，1982， Hsinchu County and Hsinchu city were divided，So Hsiang-Shan consequently became a district. In order to enhance the soundness of a basic-leveled organization，to help in overall planning and elaborate the functions of local government systems as to improve the policy execution of the city， the long awaited Hsiang-Shan District Administrative Office was established on November 1，1990.
