As a historical division of Chaling, Yaopi Commune (腰陂公社) was created in 1961 from a part of Dongfeng Commune (东风公社). The commune was reorganized as a township in 1984, the township was reorganized as a town in 1990. In February 2007, Qidi Township (七地乡) and Hengwu Village (横屋村) of the historic Yaoshui Township (尧水乡) were merged to Yaopi Town.[1]
