Kaohsiung City Hall - Sihwei Administration Center

Kaohsiung City Hall - Fongshan Administration Center

The Kaohsiung City Government is the municipal government of Kaohsiung. It was formed after the merger of Kaohsiung County and Kaohsiung City in December 2010. Its chief administrator is the directly elected mayor of Kaohsiung.

History

In 1924, Takao Town was upgraded to city status, and the Takao City Office was established in modern-day Gushan by the Japanese government which reported directly to Takao Prefecture. The city hall was located at the modern-day Dai Tien Kung temple. The second city hall was built in 1938 at modern-day Zhongzheng 4th Road, Yancheng District, and commissioned on 16 September 1939.

After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, the city was renamed Kaohsiung City Government.

A fast-growing population and rapid industrial and commercial development caused the expansion of the city government as well. In 1992, the city government moved to the new city hall building at Xiwei 3rd Road in Lingya District. The former city hall building in Yancheng District was turned into the Kaohsiung Museum of History on 25 October 1998.
