In the early 1900s (under Japanese rule), theAmisand additional Paiwan were moved to the village. In 1920, the village was officially calledTamari(Quá ma),which is essentially the name used up to now. During the 1940s (also under Japanese rule), some residents from Miaoli, Nantou, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung also settled in the area. Due to the increasing population, the Japanese government subordinated the village to Taitō District,Taitō Prefecture,and in 1937, its official name was changed to Tamari Village(Quá ma trang).
