History
The museum was established by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Hsinchu City Government on 28 December 2002.[2]
After the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in 1949, the Nationalist Government retreated to Taiwan. The military, civilian, and government personnel of all provinces were forced to move to settle in Taiwan. According to statistics, from 1945 to 1950, nearly 2 million soldiers and civilians from all parts of mainland China moved to Taiwan. In order to solve the housing problem caused by the population explosion, the Nationalist Government began to build houses or arrange dormitories, and the new residents were grouped in a certain range with the military service, occupation, and characteristics, which is now known as the “Military Dependents Village”. In Hsinchu, there are 47 villages, and the proportion is quite high. It has become a important historical and cultural asset that is indispensable to both local culture and Taiwanese history.
