新竹都城隍廟於1748年完成。淡水廳治（即今日之中央商場、中央市場、土地銀行、三角建國公園、社教館、中正台、體育館停車場、郵局等全部包含在內）遲至1756年才完成。是台灣發展史上先建城隍廟再建政府治所唯一的例子。經推算，新竹都城隍廟在1747年農曆2月17日開始起造，次年（1748年）農曆8月16日落成，同年11月29日城隍爺安座。初期依例為縣城隍，顯佑伯。
The Hsinchu City God Temple was completed in 1748. The Tamsui Prefectural Government (including today's Central Shopping Mall, Central Market, Land Bank, Sanjiao Jianguo Park, Social Education Center, Zhongzhengtai, stadium parking lot, post office, etc.) was not completed until 1756. It is the only example in Taiwan's development history where a City God Temple was built before the government seat. It is estimated that construction of the Hsinchu City God Temple began on February 17th of the lunar calendar in 1747, and was completed on August 16th of the lunar calendar the following year (1748). The City God was enshrined on November 29th of the same year. Initially, it was the county City God, known as Xianyoubo.
