It is the seat of the [[Academia Sinica]], [[Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall]], [[Nankang Software Park]] (NKSP), and [[Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Taipei Nangang]].

== History ==
Nangang was settled in 1735 by [[Fujian]]ese, especially in the present villages of Nangang, Sanchong, and Dongxin. The placename was ''{{Interlanguage link multi|Toakalah|zh|3=大加蚋堡}}'' ({{zh|t=大佳臘|poj=Tōa-ka-la̍h}}),<ref>{{holodict|40020}}</ref> Nangang-Sanchong Port ({{zh|t=南港三重埔|poj=Lâm-káng Saⁿ-têng-po͘|labels=no}}). The [[Taiwan under Qing rule|Qing era]] name of '''Lamkang'a''' ({{zh|t=南港仔|poj=Lâm-káng-á|l=southern port|labels=no}}), refers to its position on [[Keelung River]].

In 1920, during the [[Taiwan under Japanese rule|Japanese era]], Nangang was part of {{nihongo|Naiko Village|内湖庄}}, {{nihongo4|Shichisei District|七星區}}, [[Taihoku Prefecture]]. In December 1945, after the [[Retrocession of Taiwan|handover of Taiwan to the Kuomintang]], the administrative levels were changed to Neihu Township ({{lang|zh-hant|內湖鄉}}), Qixing District ({{lang|zh-hant|七星區}}), [[Taipei County]]. On July 6 of the following year, as proposed by Mayor Que Shankeng ({{lang|zh-hant|闕山坑}}), Nangang was separated into its own township ({{lang|zh-hant|南港鎮}}). In 1968, it became a district of Taipei.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://english.gov.taipei/cp.aspx?n=AA354FEE1150E02F|title = Taipei City Government|date = 28 July 2009}}</ref>
