Taiwan Prefecture or Taiwanfu was a prefecture of Taiwan during the Qing dynasty . The prefecture was established by the Qing government in 1684, after the island came under Qing dynasty rule in 1683 following its conquest of the Kingdom of Tungning . The Taiwan Prefecture Gazetteer ( 臺灣府志 ; Táiwānfǔ Zhì ) documented it as part of Fujian Province . The Gazetteer was completed by Gao Gonggan in 1695, the 34th year of the reign of the Kangxi Emperor . With the development and population growth of Taiwan during the Qing Era, the scope of Taiwan Prefecture was also varied over time. Following the establishment of Fujian-Taiwan Province in 1887, the prefecture correspondingly became a subdivision under the newly founded province.
