History
The oldest records of Enshi date the Spring and Autumn period of 776 BC. At that time the area was a state known as Bazi, which lasted until 476 BC. Enshi then became a county from 475 to 221 BC, prior to it being absorbed into the Chinese dynasties during the Qi period. In 1925, the city of Enshi formed the Exi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, which in 1935 became the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture.
