In the Qing Dynasty, Fongshan County (鳳山縣) included areas south of Tainan City (then called Prefecture City) and west of the mountains. In 1875, the southern part of Fongshan County was seperated into Hengchun County (恆春縣). After the Japanese Colonial Government started to develop the Kaohsiung Harbor in the early 20th century, the importance of Fongshan was replaced by Kaohsiung City.
Fongshan (豐山) is a village in the Alishan township of Chiayi (嘉義) County, southern Taiwan.
At an elevation of 750 meters, Fongshan is Taiwan's highest flatland village.
In former times Fongshan was known as Shihgupan(石谷盤), or "stone drum plate," in reference to the flat rocky terrain that made cultivation an arduous task for the early settlers to this area.
