Chiayi City is a 'provincial city' (市) located in the plains of southwestern Taiwan. It is surrounded by Chiayi County (嘉義縣). After the 1941-45 Pacific War and the Japanese surrender of Taiwan, Chiayi was established as a 'provincial city' but was in 1950 downgraded to a 'county-administered city' (縣轄市) in Chiayi County. It was upgraded to its present 'provincial city' status in 1982.
