People in the early periods cut down the forest around Yuanlin to build their house. Gradually, the round woodland was left; therefore, it was named 圓林(Yuanlin), which means the round woodland. Afterwards, it was changed to 員林(Yuanlin). Yuanlin produces different kinds of fruits, and succade is one of its specialty goods.
