創立於1923年，由第一代創辦人張相先生自台南神農街平房開始，以布料進口、染整、批發零售為主要業務，逐步發展為日治與光復時期重要的布料供應商。然而隨產業轉型與消費型態改變，布莊事業漸漸式微。百年後的今日，轉型成立「錦源興布莊」、「錦源興生活」、「錦源興空間」，以在地文化為經、創意美學為緯，透過印花布料設計、生活用品研發與藝文活動策劃，繼續傳承百年布莊頂真精神。

In 1923, Gímgoânheng was established by the founder Mr. Siang Jhang at Shennong Street in Tainan. The main business were cloth import, dyeing and finishing, wholesale and retail. Gímgoânheng gradually developed into an important fabric supplier during the time of Japanese Colonial Period and the Retrocession of Taiwan. However, with the transformation of the industry and the change in consumption patterns, the cloth industry has gradually receded. After nearly a hundred years later today, Gímgoânheng was re-established and transformed into “Gímgoânheng Fabrics,” “Gímgoânheng Goods,” and “Gímgoânheng Gallery.” With local culture as the warp and creative aesthetics as the weft, through the design of printed fabrics, the research and development of daily necessities, and the planning of arts and cultural activities, Gímgoânheng continues to inherit the true spirit of the century-old fabric store.
