History

The subdistrict was part of Yuewen Township (Chinese: 岳文乡) in 1949. The subdistrict of Yingwanlu (Chinese: 溁湾路街道) was established in 1956 and it was renamed to the present name in 1988.

The two communities of Zhongnan (Chinese: 中南社区) and Xingling (Chinese: 湘陵社区) were enclaves of Yuelu District located in Gaotangling of Wangcheng District, which were under jurisdiction of Wangyuehu Subdistrict. On December 6, 2017, the two communities were transferred to Gaotangling Subdistrict of Wangcheng District from Yuelu District.[2]
