Shuilin Township (Chinese: 水林鄉; pinyin: Shuǐlín Xiāng, Wade–Giles: Shueilin) is a rural township in Yunlin County, Taiwan. The original name of Shuilin Township is " Shuicanlin ". The earliest historical facts of this place's name are interesting and can be verified. According to rumors, the imperial ministers of the late Ming Dynasty came to Taiwan from the east, and a large number of Gaoshan people already live in the township and are scattered in various places to farm. During the Qing Dynasty in the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign, more immigrants from Zhang and Quan in Fujian came here to cultivate land and formed a settlement.   In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, Shuilin Township was affiliated to Zhuluo County (now Chiayi County). In the fourteenth year of Guangxu's reign, Yunlin County was newly established and the township was immediately placed under its jurisdiction. In the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign, the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed during the Sino-Japanese War, and Taiwan was ceded to Japan. It fell under Japanese rule for 50 years. Administrative reforms were implemented to abolish counties and establish bureaus. Shuilin Township was first placed under the jurisdiction of Douliu Hall and then under the jurisdiction of Chiayi Hall. In the 9th year of the Republic of China, local autonomy was implemented and it was reorganized into the Beigang County of Tainan Prefecture. At the same time, " Shuicanlin " was changed to "Shuilin Village" and a village hall was established.   After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in the 34th year of the Republic of China and Taiwan's return to the territory of the motherland, Shuilin Township was affiliated to Tainan County and named " Shuilin Township ", with 24 villages under its jurisdiction. On October 25, the 39th year of the Republic of China, the administrative region of this province was re-divided, and Tainan County was divided into Tainan, Chiayi and Yunlin Counties. Shuilin Township was then renamed under Yunlin County and was named "Yunlin County Shuilin County".
