History

Human agricultural production in the area has been dated back to approximately five to six thousand years ago, according to government sources.[2] During the Three Kingdoms Period, the district belonged to the Wu Kingdom.[2] During the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui fled to Jiangdu to escape from rebellions in the north, and stayed until he was murdered in a coup.

During the Japanese Invasion of China, most of the district was occupied by Japanese forces.[2]

In November 1950, Gao Feng, the local communist party secretary, organized a large rally at the Fairy Temple for the purpose of denouncing local landlords. At they rally, PLA soldiers executed two men, aged about 80 and 30, respectively, with gunshots to the head for "refus[ing] to reform themselves ".[3]

Jiangdu was a county-level city under the administration of Yangzhou until November 2011, when it was converted into a district.[4]
