Name
In the 17th century, during the Dutch era, Favorolang was one of the largest and most powerful aboriginal villages in Taiwan.[1] The name has also been spelled Favorlang, Favorlangh, and Vovorollang.[2] Its location was north of Tirosen (modern-day Chiayi), and the Favorlang river had been called by the Chinese How-boe-khe (Template:Zh) during the reign of the Qing Yongzheng Emperor (ca. 1722 – 1735). The Chinese name for the area (Template:Zh) was later changed to Go-keng-chhu (Template:Zh).[3][4]
The name Favorlang is said to have derived from the ethnonym Babuza,[5] a tribe of the Taiwanese Plains Aborigines.
In 1920, during Taiwan's Japanese era, the town was administered as Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., under Template:Nihongo4, Tainan Prefecture. During this era, the town earned the nickname of Template:Nihongo4.
