The place was called Sailei by the native Babuza people. That became Xiluo by translating from Hokkien to Mandarin. It is also formerly called Lethng (Chinese: 螺陽; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lê-thng) after the Chinese colonizers hometown. Xiluo Township is one of the most important vegetable growing areas in Taiwan.
