Historical evolution

Today Xiangqiao district belongs to Nanhai County in Qin Dynasty and Jieyang County in Han Dynasty.

The sixth year of Xianhe (331) in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was divided into Nanhai county and Dongguan county. Jieyang was set up in Haiyang County, which belongs to Dongguan county. Xiangqiao area belongs to Haiyang county.

In the ninth year of Yixi (413) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yian county was established as the eastern official Prefecture, and the Xiangqiao area belonged to Haiyang county. Liang Zhidong Yangzhou, later renamed Yingzhou, Xiangqiao area belongs to Yian County of Yingzhou.

In the third year of the Republic of China (1914), because of the same name as Haiyang County in Shandong Province, Haiyang was changed to Chao'an and Xiangqiao belonged to it. In October 1930, Chaoan County was divided into eight districts. Today Xiangqiao is the first district (Zhongshan District). It governs eight towns of Changrong, Renxian, Lihe, Gede, Dongguan, Xiguan, Nanguan and Beiguan, and two townships of Nanxiang and BEIXIANG. Today, Yixi town was the third district (Rongyi District).
