Spanish settlers arrived in 1622 to pan for gold. Picking up the sounds of native words, these settlers called the area ''Turumoan'' ({{zh|t=多羅滿|poj=To-lô-boán|labels=no}}). [[Han Chinese]] settlers arrived in 1851. [[Qing Dynasty]] records give the name of the region as ''Huilan'' ({{zh|t=洄瀾|poj=Hoê-liân|l=eddies|labels=no}}) due to the whirling of waters in the [[River delta|delta]].
