Kulun

Kulun was an Indigenous community in northern Taiwan, whose territory lay in the valleys of the upper Nánkǎn River below the Línkǒu plateau. Its settlements occupied a network of streams and hills between the Taipei and Taoyuan plains. In 1732 a violent confrontation involving Kulun people and Han settlers led Qing officials to intervene. As roads opened through the district and settlers established villages, people of Kulun moved from their earlier home at Kulun-kháu to settlements in neighbouring valleys.
