In the early Song Dynasty, people lived in Qiaotou in the east bank; in the late Southern Song Dynasty, some people moved here from Zhuji Lane in Nanxiong, and then a small number of people moved here in the yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Built before Ming Dynasty

According to the records in Dongguan county annals edited by Chen Botao: "before Ming Dynasty, the city system consisted of Rifang in the city, Rixiang in the city, three lanes in the city and one lane in the city. In the opposition, the township ruled the capital, four in the township and thirteen in the capital (Volume 3, with diliao and Dufang) At that time, Dongguan county was divided into wenshun Township, Guicheng Township, Ende Township and Yanfu township. Most of the villages in Qiaotou belonged to urban and rural areas.

According to Chen Botao's Dongguan county annals, the urban and rural areas of Dongguan County in the Qing Dynasty were "divided into five categories", namely, the arrest department, the ring department, the Jingshan department, the Zhongtang department and the gap department. At that time, the villages in Qiaotou were under the jurisdiction of Jingshansi, whose organization was located in Chashan.
