Dongshan District (Chinese: 東山區; pinyin: Dōngshān Qū; Wade–Giles: Tung1-shan1 Ch'ü1; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tong-san-khu) is a rural district in Tainan, Taiwan. It was formerly called Hoansia (Chinese: 番社; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: hoan-siā).[1]
During the Dutch era, the place was known as Dorko, and existed as a township called To-lo-koh in the early 20th century.[2]
After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Dongshan was organized as a rural township of Tainan County. On 25 December 2010, Tainan County merged with Tainan City and Dongshan was upgraded to a district of the city.
