History

Under the Sui dynasty, Wuchuan was a small county known as Wujiang located along the Jian River. By 1722, Wuchuan was administered from Gaozhou. (now a county-level city within the neighboring Maoming Prefecture). On May 26, 1994, the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China approved the elevation of Wuchuan County to county-level city status and placed it under the administration of Zhanjiang.
