County-administered city

A county-administered city [I] is a third-level administrative division in the Republic of China (Taiwan) below a county, which in turn is below of a province.The first administrative divisions entitled "city" were established in the 1920s when Taiwan was under Japanese rule.However, the populations of Hualien (Karenkō) and Yilan (Giran) were too low to become a provincial city, but they were of more importance than urban townships.Not all existing county-administered cities are qualified for the population test, they were built for historical reasons.Below, unless noted otherwise in parentheses, the newly created cities were towns that exceeded the 150,000 criteria.
