Taiwan was first recorded by European explorers in the early 16th century, with the Portuguese being the first to document it in 1544, referring to it as "Ilha Formosa," meaning "Beautiful Island." However, indigenous peoples had inhabited the island for thousands of years prior to European contact. The Dutch established a settlement in Taiwan in 1624, marking a significant moment in its recorded history.
