  After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in October 1945, the Hsinchu Prefecture Caretaker Commission was established on 9 November the same year. On 17 November 1945, the commission was renamed Hsinchu Municipal Hall and subsequently was succeeded by Hsinchu City Government.
