Historical evolution

In the pre Qin period, Potou belonged to Nanyue, one of the Baiyue tribes. In the Hanshu geography annals, Zan was quoted as saying: "from Jiaozhi to Kuaiji, there are different castes in Baiyue.

In the 33rd year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty (214 BC), Potou was under the jurisdiction of Xiang county.

The first year of emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (206 BC) belongs to the state of South Yue. In the sixth year of Yuanding (111 BC) of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, it belonged to Gaoliang County of Hepu County. In 220, the 25th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it belonged to Gaoliang county.

On October 14, the 25th year of Daoguang reign in the Qing Dynasty (November 16, 1899), the French colonists coerced the Qing government into signing the Sino French Canton Bay concession treaty, which included today's Potou, Nansan and Qiantang towns and two sub district offices of Maxie and nantiao. Today's Longtou town and Guandu town still belong to Wuchuan County.

In the early Republic of China, Longtou and Guandu were the fourth and eighth districts of Wuchuan respectively. In 1937, the two-level system of autonomy was implemented in the whole province, with county as the first level and township as the first level. Wuchuan set up Longtou and Shimen townships in Potou. In March 1943, Japan occupied Guangzhou Bay, and the French leased land fell into the rule of Japanese invaders. In the 34th year of the Republic of China (August 1945), after the surrender of Japan, the national government regained Guangzhou Bay and set up Zhanjiang City in 1946.

In December 1949, Zhanjiang City was liberated. Longtou (including Guandu) belonged to the seventh district of Wuchuan County; Potou (including Qiantang, MAXIE and nantiao) and Nansan were called the coastal area of suburbs.
