The old name of Sanxia, Sa-kak-eng (Chinese: 三角湧; pinyin: Sānjiǎoyǒng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Saⁿ-kak-éng; lit. 'triangular surge') refers to the meeting of the Dahan River, Sanxia River, and Horizontal River . In 1920, Taiwan's Japanese government administratively designated the town as Sankyō (Japanese: 三峽, lit. Three Gorges), Kaizan District, Taihoku Prefecture.
