The area of present-day Danjiangkou belonged to both the Han and the Chu during the Warring States period. After the Warring States period, the area was conquered by the Qin dynasty, which administered the area as Wudang County (武当县; 武當縣), after the nearby Wudang Mountains. Wudang County belonged to the Nanyang Commandery. In 208 CE, the area formed part of the newly established Nanxiang Commandery . In 289 CE, under the Jin Dynasty, the area formed part of the newly established Shunyang Commandery . During the Yongjia rebellion, many refugees from present-day Linfen, Shanxi settled in Wudang County. In 618 CE, Wudang County became part of the newly formed Wudang Commandery (武当郡; 武當郡). In 1119, Wudang Commandery became the Wudang Jun (武当军; 武當軍). In 1276, the Wudang Jun became the Jun Prefecture. In 1476, the area was merged into Xiangyang Fu . More information...
