The history of Aletheia University can be tracked back to the day when Rev. Dr. George Leslie Mackay, a preacher of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, landed in Tamshui on March 9, 1872 for the purposes of evangelism, and medical work. A hilltop of Paotaipu (the current location of the university) was chosen for the site of the school, and its construction work was planned and monitored by Rev. Dr. Mackay in person. It was the first Western school in the educational history of Taiwan and was regarded as the pioneer of general education.
