Heyang County dates to at least the early Han, when Liu Bang's elder brother Liu Xi was demoted to being its marquess after fleeing a Xiongnu attack on Dai c. 200 BC.
A species of stone loach, Triplophysa heyangensis, is named after Heyang County where it was first discovered.[1]
As 2016, this county is divided to 12 towns.[2]
