The origin of place names

There is an interesting legend about the origin of the place name of yaohuai town. It is said that there was a three Church in yaohuai town in ancient times. On the right side of the three churches, there was a kiln with a radius of more than ten miles. On the left side was a river named Hengshui. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, King Luling built an ancient city in Hualong, which needed bricks and tiles to build a palace. So he set up a brick and tile field in the kiln, firing bricks and burning lime to build a palace. Later, the kiln was a kiln village. Hengshui was a village where there were many cold waterlogged fields, harvesting crops every year, and finally it was changed into huaishui village. They built palaces, built kilns and burned bricks and tiles here. Later people called this place kiln. Today's yaohuai is the central point of kiln and huaishui. According to the records of place names of Fangxian County published in 1983, the place name of yaohuai commune has been on the stage of history ever since.

After 1984, it was withdrawn from the district and merged with Mawei management area, which became "Hualong District" and transformed Yuhe into Yaoping district. In 1987, it was withdrawn from the district to build Daxiang, which managed Mawei management area and Huaping district Yuhe management area. it used to be called yaohuai Township until it was upgraded to yaohuai town in 2011.
