==Name==
In the 17th century, during the Dutch era, ''Favorolang'' was one of the largest and most powerful aboriginal villages in Taiwan. The name has also been spelled ''Favorlang'', ''Favorlangh'', and ''Vovorollang''. Its location was north of Tirosen (modern-day Chiayi), and the Favorlang river had been called by the Chinese ''How-boe-khe'' (吼尾溪) during the reign of the Qing Yongzheng Emperor (ca. 1722 – 1735). The Chinese called the area 大崙腳庄 and later renamed it to 五間厝庄 ().
The name Favorlang is said to have derived from the ethnonym ''Babuza'', a tribe of the Taiwanese Plains Aborigines.
In 1920, during Taiwan's Japanese era, the name was modified to 虎尾 (officially, Kobi Town (虎尾庄), under Kobi District (虎尾郡), Tainan Prefecture). During this era, the town earned the nickname of "Sugar Capital" (糖都).
