Zhubei City (Chinese: 竹北市) is a county-controlled city and the county seat of Hsinchu County, Taiwan. Over the recent years, Zhubei has become a popular city for migration both because of its proximity to Hsinchu City and the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, and because the Hsinchu County government has focused most of its infrastructure here.
In 1920, the area of Chikuhoku Station (Japanese: 竹北驛?) was formerly called "Angmo Field" (Chinese: 紅毛田; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: âng-mn̂g-chhân; literally: "red fur field"). In 1941, Kyūminato Village (舊港庄) and Rokka Village (六家庄) merged to become Chikuhoku Village (竹北庄) under Shinchiku District, Shinchiku Prefecture.
