History

In October 1952, PRC and ROC forces fought over control of Nanri Island in the Battle of Nanri Island. The ROC gained control of the island but later retreated.

On February 1, 2002, Putian County was split into Licheng District and Xiuyu District.[1][3]

Around 14:10 UTC (22:10 CST) on August 8, 2015, Typhoon Soudelor made landfall over Xiuyu District as a Category 1-equivalent typhoon.[4][5]
