Tainan County was a county in southern Taiwan between 1945 and 2010. The county seat was in Sinying City.

History

Tainan County was established on 7 January 1946 on the territory of Tainan Prefecture (臺南州) shortly after the end of World War II. In the early years, Tainan County consists of most territory of Tainan Prefecture except the territory near cities of Tainan and Kagi (Chiayi). The county is subdivide into districts (區), which is reformed from Japanese districts (郡). The districts are divided into townships. ::data[format=table] | Districts in Tainan Prefecture | Districts in Tainan County | Notes | |---|---|---| | Shin'ei | | Hsin-ying | | Niitoyo | | Hsin-feng | | Shinka | | Hsin-hua | | Sobun | | Tseng-wen | | Hokumon | | Pei-men | | Kagi | | Chia-yi | | Tōseki | | Tung-shih | | Toroku | | Tou-liu | | Kobi | | Hu-wei | | Hokukō | | Pei-kang | ::

On 16 August 1950, another division reform was implemented. The northern part of the county was separated and established Chiayi County and Yunlin County. The remaining Tainan County has territory equivalent to the Shin'ei (Hsinying), Niitoyo (Hsinfeng), Shinka (Hsinhua), Sobun (Tsengwen), and Hokumon (Peimen) in the Japanese era. In addition, districts in the remaining part of Kaohsiung County was defunct. All townships were directly controlled by the County Government. On 25 December 2010, the county merged with Tainan City to form a larger single special municipality.
