Yuexiu is the historic center of the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom. Little was known of yuexiu district before Qin dynasty ( 秦代 ）.However, according to archaeological discoveries, we are now confirmed there were inhabitants settled in Guangzhou region at leat three thousand to four thousand years ago. Thirty-three years after the unification of Lingnan under Qin Shi Huang forced most of the Yue tribes out of Guangzhou and assimilated the rest remaining, Yuexiu came under the administration of Panyu County in the Nanhai Commandery. Yuexiu District is named after Yuexiu Hill. Yuexiu was originally the seat of Panyu County until 15 February 1921 when Guangzhou was formally established carving parts of northern Panyu County to create Yuexiu along with Liwan which was eastern part of Nanhai County.

Dongshan in the eastern part of Yuexiu was a former suburb of Guangzhou. It was established as "Dongshan District" in 1960. On 28 April 2005, it was withdrawn and merged with Yuexiu.
