Taipei County was a former county of the Republic of China in northern Taiwan before it was upgraded into a special municipality in 2010. The county capital was Banqiao.
Taipei County was established in Taiwan Province on 7 January 1946 after the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in October 1945. On 1 October 2007 Taipei County was given the status of Quasi-municipality. It was upgraded into a special municipality on 25 December 2010 with the name New Taipei City.
Before the upgrade, Taipei County administered 10 cities, 4 urban townships and 15 rural townships. All of these became districts of the city of New Taipei.
