In 1959, it was organized as Sanzhoutian commune, subordinate to Pingshan and included in Yantian area. Afterwards, sometimes a town and a commune were set up in the region, and sometimes they were combined into a commune.

In January 1979, Baoan county was changed into Shenzhen City, and Yantian District belongs to Luohu District.

In June 1980, it was separated from Pingshan and established Shatoujiao management area. In August, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was established, and Yantian area was included in the scope of the special economic zone except for some mountainous areas such as Sanzhoutian.
