Huangzhou District is an urban district of Huanggang,Hubei province,China.
In 845 BC Marquis Wen 文侯Huang Meng 黃孟(aka Huang Zhang 黃璋) moved the capital of the State of Huang from Yicheng to Huangchuan (present-day Huangchuan,Henan). Huang Xi's descendants ruled State of Huang until 648 BC when it was destroyed by the State of Chu. The Marquis of Huang,Marquis Mu 穆侯Huang Qisheng 黃企生,fled to the state of Qi. The people of Huang were forced to relocate to Chu. They settled in the region of present-day Hubei province,in a region known as the Jiangxia Prefecture 江夏郡during the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220).
