Yuexiu is the historic center of the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom. Little is known of the region before the Qin dynasty. However, according to archaeological discoveries, it has been confirmed that there were inhabitants settled in Guangzhou region at least three to four thousand years ago. Thirty-three years after the incorporation of Lingnan into the Qin Empire, Qin Shi Huang forced most of the Yue tribes out of Guangzhou and assimilated the rest. At this time, Yuexiu became the seat of the Panyu County in the Nanhai Commandery. Yuexiu remained Panyu County until 15 February 1921, when Guangzhou was formally established and parts of northern Panyu County, along with the eastern part of Nanhai County Liwan, were merged to create Yuexiu District. The name Yuexiu comes from Yuexiu Hill.
