Before the merging ofKaohsiung City andKaohsiung County in 2010, Siaogang was the southernmost district in Kaohsiung City. The second largest airport in Taiwan,Kaohsiung International Airport, is located in Siaogang.
Siaogang was developed duringDutch era. The Dutch built Ang Moh Harbor as an addition toAnping Harbor inTainan. After the Dutch were defeated byKoxinga, they left Taiwan. Koxinga's government developed Taiwan as the last stronghold to revive theMing Dynasty and prepare his troops to fight against theQing dynasty. He sent one of his men, Wu Yanshang, to expand Siaogang. After the demise of Koxinga, his son and his grandson, the Qing managed to defeat theKingdom of Tungning and annexed Taiwan.
In 1895, the Qing dynasty ceded Taiwan to Japan in theTreaty of Shimonoseki after losing theFirst Sino-Japanese War, and Siaogang was used to producesugar for Japanese. In 1920, the original name ofKang-a-ki (Chinese:港仔墘;Pe̍h-ōe-jī:Káng-á-kîⁿ) was changed, and the incorporated areas were administered as Kominato Village (小港庄) under Hōzan District,Takao Prefecture. As a heavy industry base inTaiwan duringWorld War II, Siaogang was more heavily bombed by theAllied force than other parts of the city.
After the war and thehandover of Taiwan from Japan to theRepublic of China, Siaogang was administrated asSiaogang Township ofKaohsiung County, a third-level government of theRepublic of China, underTaiwan Province.

Siaogang District is located in the southeastern part of Kaohsiung City, bordered by Daliau Township to the east, Linyuan Township to the south, Fongshan City to the north, Cianjhen District to the northwest, and the Taiwan Strait to the southwest.
At a question-and-answer session at the Kaohsiung City Council on Tuesday, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Kaohsiung City Councilor Huang Shao-ting (黃紹庭) suggested that due to a lack of cooperation from the central government, progress on major projects, such as the relocation of residents from Siaogang District's (小港) Dalinpu Village (大林蒲) and the construction of a new yellow line on the Kaohsiung Rapid Transit system, have come to a standstill since Han took office on Dec. 25 last year.
