During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this region had an imperial granary for keeping foods transported through the Grand Canal, and as a result the region began to be known as Zhongcang (Chinese: 中仓; lit. 'Central Granary').[2]
History
In December 1948, four townships of Tongxian were separated and merged to form Tongzhou City. It was then changed to a county-administered town in 1950. In 1997, Tongzhou Town was dissolved, and the former Dongcheng and Nancheng Subdistricts were combined to form Zhongcang Subdistrict.[2]
