At the beginning of the journey from the mainland to Taiwan, most of the ancestors enshrined the incense of Mazu, the patron saint of home navigation, to pray for safety and protect the environment and bless the people. At that time, the Qing court strictly controlled the maritime ban. No matter whether they were smuggled or legally emigrated, they could not bring their family members. The hearts of the people were very floating, and the spiritual beliefs were entrusted to the blessing of Mazu. The site of the temple was formerly known as "Douzipu" (referring to the area of ​​Zhubei Li, Zhurenli and Zhuyili today), because the settlements in this place were located in the upper reaches of Xinzhuangzizhen, and it was not easy to divert water. In the past, the wasteland could only be reclaimed. Planting beans, hence the name. Because farming is not easy, many residents are engaged in fishing related industries. In 1949 (the age of Gengzi), people in the Zhubei area felt that Mazu had instructed to build a temple to expand the service to the faithful, and that the temporary dojo was very inconvenient for the worshippers, so they discussed and initiated a new temple.

After the establishment of the second management committee, the standing committee members Ye Qinyuan, Wei Xiangran, He Qirong, etc. convened members and representatives of believers, and decided to modify the brick walls and wooden windows of the front hall to carved stone doors and windows. By the year of the Republic of China in 1968 (the age has passed), the construction was finally completed. In the mid-summer of the Republic of China (year Gengshen) in the middle of the year of 1989, local people sponsored the purchase of a new land and the construction of the Bell and Drum Tower to complete its current appearance. In the 100th year of the Republic of China, after Zhubei citizen representative Lin Qixian served as the chairman, he led all the committee members to drastically promote temple affairs, actively participate in the exchanges of various religious groups at home and abroad, and began to use [Zhubei Ma] as the Mother of Heaven in Zhubei, Zhubei Tianhou Palace, the marketing name of Zhubei Mazu, has greatly increased the popularity of Zhubei Mazu, and has spared no effort in promoting public welfare in the community.
