Nevertheless in the process of exploiting Taipei basin, Jung- He was once a farm-based village. This study will investigate chronologically the formation and development of Jung-He by field study and documents review. Based on investigations of some archeologists, once people dwelled in this area in pre-historical period, about two thousands to four thousand and two hundred years ago. According to the documents in Dutch-colonized era, we can understand that aboriginal tribe inhabited along Hsin-Tien River. Jung-He is located in the southern-west of Taipei basin. Hsin-Tien River, an affluent of Dan-Shui River, surrounds in the north and east side of Jung-He. We can infer that Min and Yue immigrants, in their early frontier period, went upstream along Dan-Shui River and moved into Jung-He plain through Shui-Wei Ferry. In Ching Dynasty, a man called Lin Cheng-zu led a team to bring the wasteland under cultivation. Around the fifteenth year of Qian-Long Emperor, they excavated Ta-An watercourse and Yung-Feng watercourse, built renting hall in Fang-Liao settlement. Temple Guang-Ji and Temple Fu-He were both constructed in this period. As a result, under Emperor Qian-Long’s sixty- years’ government, Jung-He had become a village. During the age of Emperor Dao-Guang, the time when Zheng Yong-xi a famous historian wrote “History and Geography of Dan Shui County,” Fang-Liao settlement was the main street in this area. In the age of Emperor Jia-Qing, the habitants promoted commerce in Fang- Liao settlement by constructing another temple named Fu-De. Integrating the information above, Fang-Liao settlement was the code of traffic and communication system along with industry transportation. It was not until the early years of Emperor Xiang-Feng that Lin Ben-yuan family rose abruptly. Fang-Qiao settlement, which belonged to Lin’s family, won its prosperity. Compared with Jung-He, the status of Ban-Qiao rose because of the construction of railways between Meng-Chia and Ban-Qiao. On the other hand, Japanese gave weight to agriculture. Water conservancy and irrigation works were the main concern of agriculture. Thus, in order to improve irrigation works, they conducted an overall investigation of watercourses in the thirty first year of Emperor Ming-Chih. They claimed that Ta-An watercourse and Yung- Feng watercourse were public watercourse six years later. Thereafter they repair and reconstruct these watercourses to make them work better. Moreover, owing to coal mining and delivering, they built several railways from mountains to Fang-Liao settlement during the age of Emperor Ta-Cheng. The transmission to Fang-Qiao and Meng-Chia worked via Fang-Liao to Fang-Qiao’s and Fang-Liao to Meng-Chia’s railway. Then Fang-Liao settlement became the trading center of goods in Jung-He. Afterward that Chao- He Bridge leading from Ban-Qiao to Meng-Chia and Chuan-Tuan Bridge leading His- Chao district to Chuan-Tuan settlement were built during the age of Emperor Chao-He made the connection between Jung-He and Taipei more dependent on Ban-Qiao and His-Chou district. Immigrants from China surged into Jung-He after Pacific War. In 1955,the first urban development plan proceeded on the base of His-Chou district with greater population growth than Jung-He and others. Yung-He was set up exclusively in Jung-He in 1958. The coal mining industry was getting prosperous after Ban-Nan line railway concerning the shipment of coal mining had been completed and open to vehicular traffic in 1965; what''s better, that flourishing commerce in 1960s attracted more immigrants give rise to the second urban development plan in 1973. Jung-He didn’t connect with Taipei directly until Hua-Zhong Bridge lying between Jung-He and Wan-Hua had been built in 1975. With the substitution of business for agriculture, prompt increase of population, and effects from urban development plan, most farms and watercourses were converted into the use as plants, residence, sewers, and roads. New road schemes broke down old Fang-Liao Street. Now what looks like treasure is remaining Fang-Liao Street and Miao-Mei Street, which are situated between south from Chung-Shan Road and north from Jung-He Road. Jung-He, once a farm-based village, declined in the hustling metropolis life. Keyword ：Jung-He, Yung-He, Fang-Liao Street, Pi-jie, settlement
