History
In March 2002, archaeologists excavated a late Neolithic site in Chaoyuanli (Chinese: 朝园里) of the town, unearthed pottery and stone tools, proving that human existence existed as early as 4000 years ago.
In 1995, the five townships of Jinzi (Chinese: 金紫乡), Ziyuan (Chinese: 资源乡), Sanshui (Chinese: 三水乡), Yongfeng (Chinese: 永丰乡) and Huaqiao (Chinese: 花桥乡) merged into Xiyan Town.
