The origin of the name
Pengzhou has a long history. More than 3,000 years ago, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it lived and multiplied here. Later, it established the Haiwozi ancient town (called Qu in ancient times, now Tongji Town in Pengzhou).
The Emperor Wuhou of the Tang Dynasty hung an arch for two years (AD 686) and established Pengzhou. The title of Pengzhou in Yuanhe County Records is interpreted as "Pengzhou draws water from Minshan Mountain, where the river flows out and the two mountains face each other. It was called Tianpengmen in ancient times, hence its name". This is the origin of the name of Pengzhou today.
