Historical evolution

In the middle of the Republic of China, there were 13 big and small dikes. At the end of the Republic of China, Xihu belonged to Xinbei township. Because the dikes were easy to break, there was no administrative construction.

After liberation, Xihu farm was established in April 1955, which belonged to six districts. Although the administrative management went through four stages: reform through labor farm, military reclamation farm, immigrant farm and Management District under the direct management of the army, province and city, it has always been under the jurisdiction of Hanshou County.

In 1984, with the approval of the provincial government, the former Xihu farm's general farm and its seven branches were merged and rebuilt into a built-up Town, Xihu town of Hanshou County. Entrusted by the municipal Party committee and the municipal government, Xihu town was managed by Xihu farm on its behalf. In terms of administrative divisions, Xihu town represented Xihu farm and was subordinate to Hanshou County.

In 1999, with the approval of the provincial government, Xihu farm was transformed into Xihu Management District, and a district management committee was set up as the agency of Changde Municipal People's government to perform the administrative functions of the county government.

In 2000, all the six branches under the original jurisdiction of the farm were changed into branch level offices, which acted as the agency of the Management Committee of the West Lake Management Area and exercised the functions of the township government.
