Huaiyang District has a rich historical and cultural heritage. In ancient times, it was known as Wanqiu, Chen, and even Chen State. During the Qin Dynasty, it was assigned to Chen Commandery. As time passed, in the early Western Han Dynasty, due to its location north of the Huai River, Chen Commandery was reorganized into Huaiyang Commandery, which was soon upgraded to the status of Huaiyang State. With the changes of dynasties, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was renamed Chenzhou, marking the beginning of Chenzhou's history. During the Song Dynasty, in the Xuanhe era, Chenzhou was elevated to Huaining Prefecture. However, during the Jin Dynasty, it was restored to Chenzhou. In the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Chenzhou was again upgraded to Chenzhou Prefecture, with Huaining County established. At the beginning of the Republic of China, Huaining County was renamed Huaiyang County. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, the Huaiyang Commissioner's Office was established, but it was abolished in 1953. However, in December 2019, Huaiyang County was officially abolished and reorganized into Huaiyang District, becoming a new administrative division.[3]
The Chinese Ma clique General Ma Biao led Hui forces to annihilate the Japanese at the Battle of Huaiyang.[4]
