The port was a characteristic tidal pond before in the long run formed through into a cutting-edge harbor over the time of a few hundred years. At the season of the sixteenth century, a few towns had officially settled on the seashore of the present-day Kaohsiung, which was called as "Takau" by locals around then.

The pioneers of the Dutch East India Company VOC touched base at Takau in the 1620s and after that started to build up the tidal pond. The port, truly alluded to as the "Takau Port” grew slowly amid the Dutch Era, Koxinga Era, and the early Qing Dynasty. In the early Japanese period, the pilgrim government chose to embrace extensive activities with the expectation to form the port into an advanced harbor.
