The council was originally established as Chiayi City Council after the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945. In 1950, administrative divisions of Taiwan Province were readjusted and the Chiayi County Council was subsequently established on 21 February 1951. The council moved to its current address in January 1992.[2]
