Taipei was established as a walled city in 1884 during the Qing dynasty. It became the capital of Taiwan Province in 1887. During the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945), Taipei was developed with modern infrastructure, including railways, water systems, and administrative buildings. After 1945, Taipei continued to grow as an important urban center. The city underwent rapid industrialization and social development in the late 20th century, transforming into the vibrant metropolis it is today.
