Because Fuhsing Village is in a poor mountainous area, going to school and for medical care was inconvenient for local people. So the Hsinchu government began construction of the Funong Community in 1984.
新竹縣接近苗栗縣的七星、富興、浮光三個村，由於地處偏僻山區，居民就學、就醫均感不便，新竹縣政府於是在民國七十三年興建富農新村，供村民遷居。新建社區於七十四年八月完成，共有卅四戶，遠遠看去，前有山巒，後有茶園，好一幅典型的山村景觀。
