History
Upon the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Nanqiao belonged to Hunan's District 1 (Chinese: 第一区; pinyin: Dì Yī Qū).[1] Nanqiao Township (Chinese: 南桥乡; pinyin: Nánqiáo Xiāng) was established in 1956.[1]
In 1958, Nanqiao Township became the Nanqiao People's Commune (Chinese: 南桥公社; pinyin: Nánqiáo Gōngshè),[1] as part of the establishment of people's communes. Nanqiao was reverted to a township in 1984.[1]
