Kaohsiung County, Former administrative division in southern Taiwan.
Kaohsiung County was an administrative region in southern Taiwan that included both urban centers and rural farmland across multiple districts. The territory stretched from coastal areas to inland agricultural zones serving the local population.
The county was established in 1945 following the end of Japanese colonial rule when Taiwan reorganized its administrative divisions. It remained an important local government unit for nearly seven decades.
The Republic of China Military Academy in Fongshan District trained military officers and maintained strong connections with local educational institutions.
The county merged with Kaohsiung City in December 2010, creating a larger metropolitan area. This consolidation simplified administration and connected previously separate administrative zones.
Fongshan District served as the administrative center and housed the Republic of China Military Academy. This district was a major hub for officer training and regional governance.
