History

However, according to archaeological discoveries, it has been confirmed that there were inhabitants settled in Guangzhou region at least three to four thousand years ago.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The area of present-day Yuexiu District was once the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom.[3] Thirty-three years after the incorporation of Lingnan into the Qin Empire, Qin Shi Huang forced most of the Yue tribes out of Guangzhou and assimilated the rest.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In 111 BCE, the area was reorganized as Panyu County, within the Nanhai Commandery.[3] The area of present-day Yuexiu District served as the capital of both.[3]

The area would serve as the seat of government for numerous successive administrative divisions, including Template:Interlanguage link and Xingwang Fu (Template:Lang-zh).[3] It would continue to form part of Panyu County until 1921, when the it merged with Nanhai County to create Yuexiu District, and placed under the jurisdiction of the city of Guangzhou.[3]

People's Republic of China

The area came under the control of the People's Republic of China on October 14, 1949.[3] In December 1949, Guangzhou was divided into 28 different districts, with the area of present-day Yuexiu District including Xishan District (Template:Lang-zh), Dexuan District (Template:Lang-zh), Huifu District (Template:Lang-zh), Jinghai District (Template:Lang-zh), Xiaobei District (Template:Lang-zh), Taiping District (Template:Lang-zh), Yonghan District (Template:Lang-zh), Dongshan District (Template:Lang-zh) Dadong District (Template:Lang-zh), and Template:Interlanguage link (Template:Lang-zh).[3] In June 1950, Guangzhou consolidated its 28 districts into 16, resulting in the present-day area being including portions of Huifu District, Taiping District, Yonghan District, and Dadong District.[3] In September 1952, Guangzhou reorganized its urban area into just 6 districts: East District, West District, North District, Central District, Henan District, and Zhujiang District.[3] The former districts which once occupied present-day Yuexiu District were split between Central District, East District, and North District.[3] In July 1960, North District underwent an enlargement, and was renamed to Yuexiu District, while East District was renamed to Dongshan District.[3] In August 1961, five subdistricts from Yuexiu District were transferred to the jurisdiction of Dongshan District.[3] Slight adjustments to the border of Yuexiu District and Dongshan District would continue throughout the 1990s.[3]

In September 2005, Dongshan District was abolished and merged into Yuexiu District.[3]

The area had already been inhabited by a number of Muslim internal migrants from Central and Northwest China since the 1980s.[6] Local crackdowns on visa overstays have sporadically taken place since the early 2010s.[6]
