Taichung, Taiwan.
Taichung is a city in central Taiwan that is best known as the site of the Taichung Project, a scientific research project to create an atomic bomb.
Taichung was first founded as the settlement of Toatun in 1705 by the Manchu Dynasty of China. When Taiwan was declared a separate province of the Chinese Empire in 1887 Toatun was made the provincial capital and renamed Taiwan-fu. However, by the turn of the twentieth century the provincial capital had been moved to Taipei. After Japan gained suzerainty over Taiwan in the early twentieth century the city was renamed Taichu and became the center of Japanese industrialization in Taiwan.
After the island came under the control of Kramer Associates during the Global War, K.A. President Carl Salazar moved the company's headquarters to Taiwan from the Philippines in 1950 and the city was given its present name of Taichung. Due to the city's extensive industrial base, Salazar established the company's atomic research project there in 1958. The project succeeded in creating an atomic bomb in 1962, which was tested in the North Pacific on 30 June.
