Construction of the shrine began in the 5th year of Showa (1930), and in May of the following year, a seating ceremony was held, and it was a shrine built for the employees of Sankandian Sugar Factory of Taiwan Sugar Company, (renamed Yongkang Sugar Factory after the war), at that time, there were also teachers and students from the ordinary primary school of Sankandian who would go to pay their respects. After World War II, the location of the shrine was used by a post office. The post office was later demolished, and the remnants are as you can see today. Later, Taiwan Sugar Company once decided to redevelop this area, but because of the discovery of the traces of Zhuluo tree frogs in the area and the calling for the preservation of the rich forest and ecology, with the efforts of civil organizations, although the entire area of the original Sankandian Sugar Factory could not be fully preserved, the Sankandian Shrine was designated as a provisional historic site by the Tainan County Government in 2007 and was protected and officially announced as a county historic site in 2009, and later became a municipality designated monument after the merger of the county and city.
