History
During the Three Kingdoms period, the area was organized as Guanghua County (simplified Chinese: 广化县; traditional Chinese: 廣化縣).
During the Song dynasty, the area became the seat of Hua Prefecture, Huazhou later became the seat of Hua County, which formed part of Gaozhou Commandery.
After the Chinese Civil War, it was reorganized and placed under the administration of Maoming.
In 1959, Hua County (Chinese: 化县) and Wuchuan County (Chinese: 吴川县) merged to become Huazhou County.
In 1994, Huazhou was changed from a county to a county-level city.
