HistoryEdit

The area now called Yueyang has been inhabited for over 3,000 years. It was originally established as a prefecture called Hanchang (Hanchang) by Sun Wu in 210 AD during the Three Kingdoms period. It was called Ximi during the Spring and Autumn period and Warring States period under the Chu state.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Under the Song dynasty (AD 960 – AD 1279) it was heavily fortified, with walls Template:Convert in circumference, and became the seat of the military prefecture of Yueyang, whence its present name. During the Taiping Rebellion, its capture by the rebels in 1852 was an important stage in their advance up the Yangtze River valley to Nanjing. At the time of the foundation of the Republic of China in 1911, it became a county, taking the name Yueyang.
