History
The area of present-day Danjiangkou belonged to both the Han and the Chu during the Warring States period.[3] After the Warring States period, the area was conquered by the Qin dynasty, which administered the area as Wudang County (Template:Zh), after the nearby Wudang Mountains.[3] Wudang County belonged to the Nanyang Commandery.[3] In 208 CE, the area formed part of the newly established Template:Interlanguage link.[3] In 289 CE, under the Jin Dynasty, the area formed part of the newly established Template:Interlanguage link.[3] During the Yongjia rebellion, many refugees from present-day Linfen, Shanxi settled in Wudang County.[3] In 618 CE, Wudang County became part of the newly formed Wudang Commandery (Template:Zh).[3] In 1119, Wudang Commandery became the Wudang Jun (Template:Zh).[3] In 1276, the Wudang Jun became the Jun Prefecture.[3] In 1476, the area was merged into Template:Interlanguage link.[3]
The area remained part of the Jun Prefecture until the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, which re-organized the Jun Prefecture as Jun County (Template:Zh).[3] In May 1914, Jun County was assigned to Template:Interlanguage link.[3] In 1932, it was moved to the province's 11th Administrative Circuit, and was moved to the province's 8th Administrative Circuit in 1936.[3]
On March 21, 1948, the county seat was taken by the People's Liberation Army, and the rest of the county was taken by March 28.[3] On June 2, the Jun County Democratic County Government was established by the Communist Party.[3] With the foundation of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, the county's government was renamed to the Jun County People's Government.[3]
Jun County was briefly revoked in July 1960, and was merged into Guanghua County, before being re-established in 1962.[3] On August 19, 1983, Jun County became the county-level city of Danjiangkou.[3]
