Quanzhou has a long history and started its economic development as early as the Zhou and Qin Dynasties.

In the third year of Wu Yong 'an in the Three Kingdoms (260), Dongan County was established in Fengzhou Town of Nan 'an City, and Nan 'an County was established in Southern Chaoliang Prison (502 ~ 5 19), which was the beginning of local county governance.

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a war in the Central Plains, and many gentry in the Central Plains entered the spring and lived along the river, hence the name Jinjiang.

They brought advanced production technology and cultural knowledge, which enabled banks in Jinjiang to develop rapidly.

With the development of economy and the reform of political system, the organizational system of administrative divisions has changed several times.

In the year of Tang Jiuyuan (700), Wu Rongfu was established, and this city was under the jurisdiction of the state.

In the second year of Tang Jingyun (7 1 1), Wurong Prefecture was renamed Quanzhou.

Since then, there have been counties, prefectures, prefectures and prefectures.

After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), administrative inspection areas, special areas and regions were set up, and Jinjiang area was set as Quanzhou prefecture-level city in 1986 and 65438+ 10.
