Jiading Town Subdistrict: Before the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, an ancient coastline formed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and human activity had already emerged along the Lianqi River (now the area around the West Gate Old Street). By the Liang Dynasty's Tianjian era (502–519), a settlement was formed. During the Tang Dynasty, the ancient town of Jiading gained its name from the Lianqi River, known as Lianqi Market. On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the tenth year of the Jiading era of the Southern Song Dynasty (January 7, 1218), the county seat was established and named Jiading after the era, a name that has continued to this day. In September 2000, Jiading Town was restructured from a town into a subdistrict.

Jiading Town was listed by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government in 1991 as one of Shanghai’s four major historic and cultural towns, well known for its rich cultural heritage... More details about Jiading Town Subdistrict ++
