Yingge Station's address is No.68-1, Wún-huà Rd., Yingge Township, Taipei County. It is located 49 kilometers and 195 meters away from Keelung Station with Shanjia Station established 4 to 5 kilos north and Taoyuan Station set up 8.2 kilos south away from it. The station is at the very southern end of Taipei County, right between Central Mountains and Taoyuan plain. Its climate belongs to the subtropical zone and the southeast area of Yingge is mountainous, with the Da-han River running through it, all the way to Banciao, to combine with the Danshuei River.

Yingge Station is established at August 25 of the 10th year before R.O.C (the 34th year of Mei-ji); it's a wooden-built buliding with an ancient name called Yingo Shihyi. Within the Japanese colonial age, the station’s name is changed to Yingge Shihyi and is set up 400 meters far from the current train station (in the front of today's Yingge Police Substation). Yingge gets its name from the Yingge Mountain; there is a huge yingge-like (oriole-like) stone at the hillside and residents call it the Yingge Stone. From that time on, Yingge Stone is related to the name of this place. If taking a northbound train and sitting at the left side of the carriage, you can see the Yingge Stone. 

When first hearing the beautiful name “Yingge,” a lot of romantic thoughts and yearningswill cross people's minds. In fact, these are no orioles dancing or singing in Yingge.

The Yingge Township was named “Yingge Shih-jhuang” because of a yingge-like (oriole-like) stone at the northern hillside of the town. The official record of Yingge Township, Taipei County said that this town was named Yingge Shih-jhuang during the years of Guang Xu Emporor of the Qing Dynasty and the name was originated from a huge yingge-like rock (the Yingge Stone) at the town's northern hillside. The township was officially named “Yingge” after the Taiwan Restoration.

The town is at the southern-west of the great Taipei metro area with Da-han River running through the southern east side of it and the Taoyuan Terrace located at its south. When it comes to the town's landform, the southern west part is slightly higher than the northeast side. There is less than one thirds of plain ground within the town. At the Qing Dynasty, the water was rich in the Da-han River and the river was the main and famous route from Danshuei to Sansia with heavy traffic and lots of sail boats. It was once called “the Scene of Dakekan River.”

Right after Jheng Cheng-gong, the King of the Yan-ping County, defeating the Dutch, he passed through Yingge and blocked by the miasma; his soldiers were swallowed by the Yingge Stone and the troop fired a shot to the rock, breaking its neck. So the ill fog was gone.
