History
Originally a rare populated wetland, mass city-construction began in the 1950s.
During 1953, the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture was created, and the town of Hezuo (not yet a city) was part of it.
In May 1956, Hezuo was named by a provincial government employee.
During June 1996, the government announced the establishment of Hezuo, and on January 1, 1998, the city was officially established.
