There were only several smaller shoals in the area of present-day Yangzhong during the Eastern Jin. As time went on, they enlarged and merged into an elongated shoal by Tang dynasty, which was called Xiaozhou (小洲; literally: "Small shoal") in Song dynasty. It was renamed Xinzhou (新洲) and then Ximinzhou (細民洲) during Ming dynasty, and was designated Taipingzhou (太平洲) in Qing dynasty.
In 1904, the imperial court decided to establish a subprefecture named after Taiping. In 1911, it was promoted to a county. Since there is a namesake in Anhui. The county was renamed Yangzhong, the abbreviation of "揚子江中" which means "(the shoal is) in the Yangtze River".
In the present, Yangzhong City has 5 towns and 1 other.[2]
