History
Syuejia was originally inhabited by the Siraya people. During Japanese rule, Syuejia was part of Tainan Prefecture. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Syuejia was organized as a rural township of Tainan County. On 2 February 1968, Syuejia was upgraded from rural township to urban township due to its population. On 25 December 2010, Tainan County merged with Tainan City and Syuejia was upgraded to a district of the city.Administrative divisions
