According to legend, the [[Shu Han]] emperor [[Liu Shan]] dropped his jade belt into a well when he passed through this small town. Thus, the town was named 'lost belt' ({{lang-zh|落带}}). It later evolved into its current name {{lang-zh|洛带}} with the same pronunciation, but a different first character.<ref>{{Cite web |title=洛带古镇 |url=https://www.longquanyi.gov.cn/lqyqzfmhwz_gb/c123286/2016-08/12/content_6a26236f6df1480b8afb13b3cccb5415.shtml |access-date=2024-09-07 |website=Chengdu City Longquanyi District People's Government}}</ref> Luodai Historic Town is one of the five major Hakka settlements in China. Three or four hundred years ago, a group of Hakka people moved to Luodai from coastal cities. It has since grown into the largest community for [[Hakka people]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=洛带古镇:客家风韵耀巴蜀 _光明网 |url=https://news.gmw.cn/2023-12/31/content_37062840.htm |access-date=2024-09-07 |website=Guangming Daily |archive-date=12 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240112105602/https://news.gmw.cn/2023-12/31/content_37062840.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
