Historical Description：Jheng, Cheng-gong established Chih-kan Tower as Chengtianfu, the public service center, with Tiansing and Wannian counties to rule northern and southern Taiwan. The Jhuoshuei River basin was the utmost northern area under jurisdiction, subject to the northern office of Tiansing County at that time and Linnei was under its control. In 1684, Jhuluoshan was subordinate to the government on Taiwan and Linnei was under the jurisdiction. In 1788, Jhuluoshan was renamed Chiayi County after the event of Lin, Shuang-wun, county jurisdiction of Changhua was established in Sianwei (Changhua City currently) and this area was ruled by these two counties. A magistrate was designated in Doulioumen in 1848 to handle government affairs of Siluo. In 1886, Taiwan province was founded and Yunlin County was newly established governing the area of Linyipu (Jhushan at present). The county government was moved to Doulioumen in 1893 until Taiwan was ceded to Japan. Douliou was changed to Yunlin later. However, the Japanese government restored the old name of Douliou in 1897 and set up Douliou Office subject to Chiayi County. There was no prefecture or department establishment in Yunlin in 1926 during the Japanese Occupation and administrative divisions were reorganized several times. After restoration, Yunlin was subordinate to Tainan County. Linnei Township was established in 1946. When municipalism was implemented in Taiwan on July 2, 1950, Yunlin County was set up and the county government was located in Douliou Township. Thus, the original place name, Yunlin, was restored. Reorganization of administrative divisions was made and Linnei Township of Yunlin County, Taiwan Province came into existence.
