Historical evolution

Before the Southern Song Dynasty, the ancient Huaihe River flowed into the sea from yuntiguan in the county, and most of the county was in the sea.

In 1128, the Yellow River seized the Huaihe River and began to deposit into land.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the southeast of the county along the North Bank of Zhongshan river was the dependency of Shanyang County (now Huai'an, Jiangsu); the southwest, central and northeast of the county was the dependency of Anton county (now Lianshui); the north of the county along the South Bank of Guanhe River was the dependency of Haizhou (now Guanyun).

In 1724, Haizhou was promoted to Zhili Prefecture, and the northern part of the county was under the jurisdiction of Zhili Prefecture. The central and northeast part of the county belongs to Anton county. It belongs to Huai'an Prefecture.

In 1731, the northern part of Yancheng county and the eastern part of Shanyang County were divided into Funing County. The North Bank of the abandoned Yellow River in the southern part of the county was under the jurisdiction of Funing County, which still belonged to Huai'an Prefecture.

In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Haizhou was abandoned, and Zhili Prefecture was divided into Donghai County and Guanyun county. In the north of the county, Guanyun county was under the jurisdiction of Huandu town and Huaiyang Road, Jiangsu Province.

In 1914, Anton county changed its name to Lianshui County, and the original territory of Anton county was changed to Lianshui County, which belongs to Huaiyang Road, Jiangsu Province.

In 1927, the provincial county was abolished. In 1933, Jiangsu Province set up an administrative supervision district. The southern part of the county (Funing County) was the tenth supervision district of Jiangsu Province; the central part (Lianshui County) was Huaiyin District of Jiangsu Province; and the northern part (Guanyun county) was Donghai District of Jiangsu Province.

Before October of the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), the county was on the edge of Funing, Lianshui and Guanyun.

In October 1940, the Anti Japanese democratic regime was established, which belonged to lianguanfu border region office and Huaihai District, and was abolished at the end of December of the same year.

In March 1947, it belonged to the 11th division of Subei administrative office. In September of the same year, it belonged to the 5th division of Subei administrative office.

In May 1949, it was subordinate to the office of Yancheng Commissioner in Northern Jiangsu.

In November 1949, it merged with Fudong County, still known as Binhai County, and the county Party committee and county government were stationed in dongkan town.

In May 1960, with the approval of the provincial people's Commission, Xiangshui and Zhouji people's communes in Binhai County were assigned to Guannan county.

In October 1964, according to the instructions of the provincial people's Commission, Zhouji and Xiangshui communes and Xiangshui town were zoned back to Binhai County.

On March 9, 1966, with the approval of the State Council, the area north of Zhongshan River and south of Guanhe River in Binhai County was designated as Xiangshui County, which was named after the county government's residence in Xiangshui town and was subordinate to the office of Yancheng commissioner.
