Yuanchang Township[1] is a rural township in Yunlin County, Taiwan.
The local Fu clan maintains the name Yuanchang comes from Fu Yuan-chang (傅元掌), their ancestor who settled in the area in 1741.[2] The Yunlin government agrees such a person did exist, but whether the specific man is the progenitor of the township's name is unclear.[3]
It has a population total of 23,656 and an area of 71.59 square kilometres (27.64 sq mi)
