Chiuchuang Village was mapped out in 1946. In the previous years, it did not belong to Taipei County but New Taipei City under the jurisdiction. Five chiefs had managed the village in the order of time, inclusive of Shui-Yuan Lee, Jin-Shen Lin, Qing-Xi Zheng, Shang-Lao Lee. In 1974, due to the administrative region’s adjustment, Chiuchuang Village was being divided into two villages. One of it is Zhongyan Village and the other was still named Chiuchuang Village, inducted the nearby Da-feng Village to its own.

In the ancient times, Chiuchuang Village was the birthplace of Pouchong tea, a kind of household tea. Dated back to 1885, the immigrants from Anxi, Fujian in China, such as Shui-Jing Wang and Jing- Wei, came here to observe the climate, geography, humidity and soil of Chiuchuang Village. They found that this place was very suitable for tea tree planting so that they brought the tea tree from China and turned this village to the cradle land of Pouchong tea. At that time, the teashops liked to brew the tea with flowers, and the osmanthus from Chiuchuang Village had also be used in the tea brewing. During the time of the Japanese colony, Chiuchuang Village started planting sweet-scented osmanthus in considerable quantities. The residents sold it throughout the world and Chiuchuang Village had successfully became the place which mainly produced osmanthus.

In the final period of Japanese rule in Taiwan, the business of Pouchung tea started to deteriorate. Instead, the coal and brick industry started to flourish. The residents started the coal and brick industry on the mountain region of Chiuchuang Village, which is referring to the border of Shanshuilu Eco-Park today. After 1961, the coal industry started to go downhill and became unprofitable because of the new policy. Nowadays, there’s still a street called “Miner Street” beside the Central Institute (located in Jui-Zhuang). The street exists because it used to be the residence of the miners and it is full of memories.

In 1992, through detailed investigation and complete assessment, Chiuchuang Village was chosen to build a landfill called Sangjuku Landfill to substitue Futekeng Landfill. Sangjuku Landfill was constructed in May, 1993 and started being used on June 18th, 1994. Although the government made a commitment that the landfill was well-treated in construction, operations, and maintenance, Chiuchuang Village, since then, had become a loathed and then gradually forgotten area except garbage truck with tons and tons of waste delivered from every corner of Taipei.
