History
editHuman activity in the area can be traced back to approximately 5000 BCE on the banks of the Du River.[1]
The area belonged to the Chu State during its existence.[1] The area later belonged to the Qin dynasty.[1]
The area was incorporated under the Jin dynasty as Weiyang County (微阳县).[1]
During the Sui dynasty and the early Tang dynasty, the area was incorporated as Duyang County (堵阳县).[1] In 627 CE, the county was dissolved and replaced by Yunxiang County (郧乡县).[1] Yunxiang County would itself be dissolved in 1277 under the Southern Song, and replaced by Yun County (郧县).[1] The area would remain as Yun County throughout subsequent dynasties, and through the rule of the Republic of China.[1]
In December 1947, Yun County was taken by Communist forces.[1] In subsequent years, the area would be re-organized multiple times.[1] The prefecture-level city of Shiyan was established in December 1969.[1]
Zhangwan was established as a county-level subdistrict (县级街道) in November, 1980.[1]
In May 1984, Zhangwan was re-organized as a district (区).[1]
On 13 June 2021, a gas explosion occurred in Zhangwan District.[4]
