History
During the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the area belonged to the independent state of Chu.
In the Three Kingdoms period, the area of present-day Qianjiang was part of the Eastern Wu.
Portions of present-day Qianjiang were ruled by the Sui dynasty as part of Mianyang Commandery.
Part of Qianjiang was incorporated into the Tang dynasty as Jiangling County (simplified Chinese: 江陵县; traditional Chinese: 江陵縣). In 857 CE, the area was placed under the Jiedu Envoy of Jingnan.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the area belonged to the independent kingdom of Jingnan. Qianjiang County (simplified Chinese: 潜江县; traditional Chinese: 潛江縣; pinyin: Qiánjiāng Xiàn) was first organized in 965 CE, during the Song dynasty.
In 1293, during the Yuan dynasty, local flooding prompted officials to move the county center to present-day Yuanlin Subdistrict.
