Wikipedia's article on Taoism in Taiwan, community-edited. Reliable for the standard account of a large influx of Han Chinese settlers from Fujian beginning in the 1660s, who brought Chinese traditional religion including Taoism with them, and for the documented 1949 arrival of Zhang Enpu, the 63rd Celestial Master of Taoism, who fled mainland China with the retreating Nationalist government and brought the religion's own orthodox Zhengyi leadership to the island; not the right source for a single precise year within the 1660s wave, which the article states only as a decade.
