Hou-Tung had flourished quite early because of the coal mining industry since Taiwan was under Japanese rule. Plenty of natural coal sources made Hou-Tung once the most coal mining production area in Taiwan. In 1990, after the coal resources were used up, coal-mining factories shut down, and most people in Hou-Tung emigrate to Taipei city and Chilung. The cats in Hou-Tung that rose by the minors propagate and became a famous scenic spot in Taiwan due to its large amount of cats.
