History
In 1103, during the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127), it was known as Ruoshui Stockade Village (若水寨).
From the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368–1911), the central government installed an agency of patrol and inspection known as Ruoshui Xunjiansi (若水巡检司) to administer the territory.
After the founding of the Communist State, in November 1949, it belonged to the 1st District of Huitong County. It was renamed Ruoshui District (若水区) in May 1955 and was changed to Ruoshui Township in June 1956. In October 1958, it was renamed Ruoshui People's Commune (若水人民公社) and reverted to its former name of Ruoshui Township in May 1984. In October 1995 it was upgraded to a town. In 2015, Huangmao Township (黄茅乡) merged into the town.
