Taimali Township (Template:Zh) is a rural township in Taitung County, Taiwan. It has a population of 10,763 in 96.6523 km2 area. Taimali Township is located on the Pacific coast.[1] The indigenous Amis and Paiwan peoples make up one-third of the population.

History

Tjavualji was established 1,000 years ago by the Qian YaoKao, also called the Da Ma, who were ancestors of the Paiwan people. Qing era records show the placename written variously (Template:Zh), etc.[2] According to Paiwan legend it had been called "the village of sunrise" (Jabauli or Tjavualji in Paiwan language) because there the sun rises from the eastern sea.

In the early 1900s (under Japanese rule), the Amis and additional Paiwan were moved to the village. In 1920, the village was officially called Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., which is essentially the name used up to now. During the 1940s (also under Japanese rule), some residents from Miaoli, Nantou, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung also settled in the area. Due to the increasing population, the Japanese government subordinated the village to Taitō District, Taitō Prefecture, and in 1937, its official name was changed to Script error: No such module "Nihongo"..
