History of Zhuhai
Five thousand years ago, the ancient people started to explore this area. Nobody knew what Zhuhai was called in that time. After Song Dynasty (960-1279), since the development of salt industries and silver ore exploitation, the government established Xiangshan Town here. Zhuhai is also an important military stronghold for its geographical position. 1553, Portuguese occupied Macao and made it the communication center of trade and culture. Consequently, many foreign people migrated into Zhuhai. In order to strengthen frontier management and fishery industry expansion, Zhuhai County was launched with the permission of the Government Administration Council in April, 1953. From then on, Zhuhai had its own administrative system. 1980, the central government of China decided to make Zhuhai one of the five special economic zones in the fifth NPC (nationwide people's congress).
