History
Historical development
Human activity in the area of Yucheng Subdistrict can be traced back to the Sanhetan Site 2800 years ago, located in Nanshan Village under the jurisdiction of Yucheng Subdistrict. Before the Qing Dynasty, the territory of Yucheng Subdistrict belonged to Yueqing. In the sixth year of the Qing Yongzheng era (1778), when Yuhuan Hall was established, a city was built within the area, commonly referred to as Chengli (城里). In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), it was renamed Chaozhu Town (朝珠镇) and later divided into Zhucheng Town (珠城镇) and Xiqing Town (西青镇). In the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), it was merged into Huanshan Town (环山镇). In January 1980, it was renamed Chengguan Town (城关镇) and incorporated the three townships of Qingma (青马), Shashan (沙鳝), and Huancheng (环城). In June 2000, it was changed to Zhugang Town Chengguan Subdistrict (珠港镇城关办事处), and in 2009, it was renamed Yucheng Subdistrict (玉城街道).
