==History==
[[File:NCHU Administration Bldg, Taichung, Aug 2024 (1).jpg|thumb|Administration Building]]
The university was originally founded as Advanced Academy of Agronomy and Forestry in Tainan in 1919. In 1928, the academy became a department affiliated to [[Taihoku Imperial University]]. In 1943, the department became an independent entity again and moved to Taichung. After the [[Retrocession Day|handover of Taiwan from Japan]] to the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]] in 1945, the school was reorganized and became Taichung Agricultural Junior College. In 1946, it was upgraded to Taichung College of Agriculture. In 1961, it merged with the newly established College of Science and Engineering and College of Law and Business and became Chung Hsing University. In 1971, it became a national university and was named National Chung Hsing University.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nchu.edu.tw/default/mid/613|title=History|website=National Chung Hsing University|access-date=30 December 2018}}</ref>
