The written history of the town begins from the mid nineteenth century when the frontier organization under the English Raj set up a sanatorium and a military station in the area. In this manner, broad tea ranches were built up in the locale and tea cultivators created crossovers of dark tea and made new maturation methods. The resultant particular Darjeeling tea is globally perceived and positions among the most prominent dark teas on the planet.

The fluctuated culture of the town mirrors its various statistic milieu involving indigenous Bengali, Nepali, Lepcha, Bhutia, Tibetan, and other territory Indian ethno-etymological gatherings. Darjeeling, close by its neighboring town of Kalimpong, was the focal point of the Gorkhaland development in the 1980s. 

Darjeeling is interwoven with that of Nepal, Sikkim, English India, and Bhutan. Until the mid nineteenth century, the uneven zone around Darjeeling was controlled by the Kingdom of Sikkim with the settlement comprising of a couple of towns of the Lepcha and Kirati individuals. The Chogyal of Sikkim had been occupied with unsuccessful fighting against the Gorkhas of Nepal. From 1780, the Gorkhas made a few endeavors to catch the whole locale of Darjeeling. By the start of the nineteenth century, they had overwhelm Sikkim as far eastbound as the Teesta Waterway and had vanquished and attached the Terai and the whole region currently had a place with Nepal. Meanwhile, the English were occupied with keeping the Gorkhas from over-running the entire of the northern boondocks. The Somewhat English Gorkha war broke out in 1814, which brought about the thrashing of the Gorkhas and in this way prompted the marking of the Sugauli Arrangement in 1816. As per the arrangement, Nepal needed to surrender every one of those domains which the Gorkhas had attached from the Chogyal of Sikkim to the English East India Organization. Later in 1817, through the Arrangement of Titalia, the English East India Organization reestablished the Chogyal of Sikkim, reestablished every one of the tracts of land between the Waterway Mechi and the Stream Teesta to the Chogyal of Sikkim and ensured his sway. 

In 1828, a designation of the English East India Organization authorities on its way to the Nepal-Sikkim fringe remained in Darjeeling and chose that the district was a reasonable site for a sanatorium for English officers. The organization arranged a rent of the territory west of the Mahananda Waterway from the Chogyal of Sikkim in 1835. In 1849, thSuperintendent Archibald Campbell and the traveler and botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker were detained in the area by the Sikkim Chogyal. The BEIC sent a power to free them. Proceeded with erosion between the BEIC and the Sikkim specialists brought about the addition of 640 square miles of domain by the English in 1850. In 1864, the Bhutanese rulers and the English marked the Bargain of Sinchula that surrendered the goes driving through the slopes and Kalimpong to the English. Additionally friction amongst Sikkim and the English brought about a war, coming full circle in the marking of a settlement and the extension by the English of the region east of the Teesta Stream in 1865. By 1866, Darjeeling locale had expected its present shape and size, covering a region of 1,234 square miles.

Amid the English Raj, Darjeeling's calm atmosphere prompted its advancement as a slope station for English inhabitants trying to get away from the late spring warmth of the fields. The improvement of Darjeeling as a sanatorium and wellbeing resort continued energetically. Arthur Campbell, a specialist with the Organization, and Lieutenant Robert Napier were in charge of building up a slope station there. Campbell's endeavors to build up the station, pull in foreigners to develop the inclines and animate exchange brought about a hundredfold increment in the number of inhabitants in Darjeeling in the vicinity of 1835 and 1849.The first street associating the town with the fields was built in the vicinity of 1839 and 1842. In 1848, a military terminal was set up for English officers, and the town turned into a district in 1850. Business development of tea in the region started in 1856, and instigated various English grower to settle there. Darjeeling turned into the formal summer capital of the Bengal Administration after 1864. Scottish evangelists embraced the development of schools and welfare habitats for the English inhabitants, establishing the framework for Darjeeling's outstanding quality as a focal point of training. The opening of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railroad in 1881 further rushed the advancement of the locale. In 1899, Darjeeling was shaken by real avalanches that made extreme harm the town and the local populace. 

Under the English Raj, the Darjeeling zone was at first a "Non-Direction Locale", a plan of organization material to financially less propelled areas in the English India; acts and controls of the English Raj did not naturally apply to the region in accordance with rest of the nation. In 1919, the zone was announced a "retrogressive tract". Amid the Indian autonomy development, the Non-collaboration development spread through the tea bequests of Darjeeling. There was additionally a fizzled death endeavor by progressives on Sir John Anderson, the Legislative head of Bengal in 1934. Consequently, amid the 1940s, Comrade activists proceeded with the patriot development against the English by preparing the manor specialists and the laborers of the region 

Financial issues of the locale that had not been tended to amid English Raj kept on waiting and were reflected in a portrayal made to the Constituent Get together of India in 1947, which featured the issues of local self-rule and Nepali nationality in Darjeeling and contiguous zones. After the autonomy of India in 1947, Darjeeling was converged with the province of West Bengal. A different locale of Darjeeling was set up comprising of the slope towns of Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalimpong and a few sections of the Terai area. While the slope populace involved for the most part ethnic Nepalis, the fields harbored an expansive ethnic Bengali populace who were outcasts from the Parcel of India. A careful and non-open reaction by the West Bengal government to most requests of the ethnic Nepali populace prompted expanded calls, in the 1960s, for Darjeeling's self-rule and for the acknowledgment of the Nepali dialect; the state government acquiesced to the last request in 1961. 

The making of another province of Sikkim in 1975, alongside the hesitance of the Administration of India to perceive Nepali as an official dialect under the Constitution of India, brought the issue of a different territory of Gorkhaland to the cutting edge. Fomentation for a different state proceeded through the 1980s, included fierce dissents amid the 1986– 88 period. The fomentation stopped simply after an understanding between the administration and the Gorkha National Freedom Front, bringing about the foundation of a chose body in 1988 called the Darjeeling Gorkha Slope Board, which got self-sufficiency to represent the region. In spite of the fact that Darjeeling wound up serene, the issue of a different state waited, fuelled to a limited extent by the absence of far reaching financial advancement in the locale even after the development of the DGHC. New challenges emitted in 2008– 09, however both the Association and State governments rejected Gorkha Janmukti Morcha's interest for a different state. In July 2011, a settlement was marked between GJM, the Legislature of West Bengal and the Administration of India which incorporates the arrangement of another independent, chose Gorkhaland Regional Organization, a slope chamber supplied with a greater number of forces than its antecedent Darjeeling Gorkha Slope Board.

The Taiwan Confucius Sanctuary, additionally called the Insightful Sanctuary, was worked in 1665 amid the Koxinga administration, when Zheng Jing affirmed of the proposition by Head of General Staff Chen Yonghua to develop the Sanctuary on the correct side and the National Foundation on the left half of a slope, with both confronting the south. On the east side stood Ming-Lun Lobby, worked as a place for teachers to offer addresses and develop erudite people. On the west side was the haven called Ta-Cheng Corridor, lodging the morgue tablet of Confucius, and also those of his recognized devotees. The Wen Miao and Guo Xue exacerbate, the first of its kind ever of, was in this manner called the Principal Institute of Taiwan. 

In 1685, not long after the island of Formosa was added by the Qing tradition, the main Taiwan Provincial Boss Overseer Chou Chang and Taiwan Prefecture Officer Chiang Yu-ying started their endeavors to have the Wen Miao remodeled and the Ta-Cheng Lobby remade into Taiwan Prefecture Foundation. From that point forward, the compound has been remodeled and extended a few times.

In the Wen Miao, notwithstanding its Ta-Cheng Corridor, a door named Ta-Cheng Entryway was raised at its front yard and a holy place named Chung-Sheng Altar was worked in its lawn. The Ta-Cheng Corridor was flanked by East-Wu and West-Wu, two chambers in the love of antiquated researchers, while the Ta-Chen Door remained between Wen-Chang Holy place to one side and Tu-Di Altar (Holy place of the Land) to one side. Additionally based on the two sides of the yard of the Ta-Cheng entryway were two dividers with the option of Li Door and Yi Street. In the institute, an entryway named Ju-Te-Chih-Men was raised as a primary access to the Ming-Lun Corridor, the principle lobby of Taiwan Prefecture Foundation. Arranged between the entryway and the corridor was a patio flanked by Assemblies of the Six Expressions, while situated behind the lobby were private chambers for staff. Toward the east of the Ming-Lun Lobby was the Chu Tzu Sacrificial stone in love of the researcher Chu Hsi. Now, the development of the Wen Miao had formed roughly into its present shape and scale. 

The Wen Miao kept on experiencing a few remodels in the wake of significant redesign by Chen Ping. In 1777, Taiwan Prefecture Officer Chiang Yuan-shu embraced a noteworthy remodel. At the point when Taiwan was set up as an area in 1887, Taiwan-fu (cutting edge Tainan) turned into the seat of the recently made Tainan Prefecture, and was renamed Tainan-fu. Along these lines, the Wen Miao was renamed Tainan Prefecture Foundation. After 1895, Taiwan was under Japanese administer, the Wen Miao was by and by utilized as a government funded school and military sleeping shelter and was significantly harmed. A noteworthy remodel in 1917, under which a few sections of the development were torn down, brought about the scale and structure of the Wen Miao as it is today. The sanctuary has been redesigned a few times in the course of recent years, most as of late in the vicinity of 1987 and 1989.
