County-controlled city
Encyclopedia
A county-controlled city (縣轄市 xiànxiáshì) is a third level administrative division of the Republic of China
(Taiwan).On the same level as a ROC township, it is the lowest-level city of ROC, below provincial city and special municipality. There are 17 County-controlled cities under Taiwan Province
. A county-controlled city has urban villages (里) directly under it.
The two criteria of gaining county-controlled city status:
The population criterion was originally 50,000 in the 1940s, but was raised to 100,000 in 1959, and again in 1977 to the present level.
