Historical evolution

Liuyuan originated from hongliuyuan, which is 8 kilometers southwest of Liuyuan. It is the name of a post station in ancient China. There is water in hongliuyuan, so the post station must rely on water. It is said that there was a piece of hongliuyuan at that time. The official who inspected the site named it hongliuyuan. Although the red willow is not a garden, there are still many. The water of the red willow garden supplies the life and industry of Liuyuan town and plays a great role in the economic development of Liuyuan. In 1958, the railway went to Liuyuan, where the Ministry of Railways set up a station. It took the name of hongliuyuan, while Shehong took Liuyuan, which was Liuyuan railway station. When the town was built in 1962, it was officially named Liuyuan town.
