Hillsborough, Tseng

Hillsborough (Chinese: 山堡市; pinyin: Shānbǎo Shì) formerly: 希爾斯伯勒市; Xī ěr sī bó lēi shì) is a city in Tseng City-Capital, Tseng. With a population of 1,138,721 as of 2020, it is Tseng's fourth largest city.

History
Hillsborough was founded on February 21, 1769. It was named after, the Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1768 to 1772.

In 1853, the town was upgraded to a city. In 1982, the Chinese name for the city changed from 希爾斯伯勒, the transliteration of the name 'Hillsborough' to 山堡 (Shānbǎo), which was the Japanese name for the city (Yamaho) while Tseng was under Japanese occupation.

At the time of its founding Hillsborough was located a long way from Port Elizabeth (today's Tseng City), but the two cities boundaries grew closer and closer until 1990, when the cities bordered each other. Because of Tseng City's superior status, there have been talks to annex Hillsborough. However, many people are against it, because the cost of living in Hillsborough is lower than Tseng City.

Geography
Hillsborough is located in the Capital Valley. Farmland surrounds the city.

Transportation
Three highways serve Hillsborough. The A2 highway, the Hillsborough-Longtan Expressway, and the Hillsborough-Yuanxiao Highway.

The airport serving Hillsborough is Hillsborough Shanbao Airport (in Chinese, this is simply called "Shanbao Airport").

Politics
The current mayor of Hillsborough is Li Shan-wang (NPP) (not to be confused with the far-right leader Li Wang-shan). Most people in Hillsborough are pro-NPP.
