History

About 2000 years ago, the water of the Yangtze River ran to the south because of sea tide and met the Qiantang River so as to form the land near the Tang dynasty, so this district was named by Nanhuizui (Nan is South, Hui means converge, and Zui means mouth in Chinese). Nanhui County was established from Shanghai County in 1726.

In 2001, Nanhui County was renamed Nanhui District. In May 2009 Nanhui was merged into Pudong New Area.
