History
What is now Danzhou was settled by Cantonese peasants firstly named Danzhou (Template:Lang-zh) in the 12th century and only renamed to Danxian in 1912 after hundreds of years, but later re-obtained its name Danzhou after the Communist takeover in the 1950s.
During World War II, Danzhou was among the top most devastated counties in Hainan as the Japanese had massacred more than 30,000 Cantonese people in Danzhou, destroying over than 10,000 houses and 300 Danzhou villages.[1]
