## History

The subdistrict of Juzizhou was originally called Shuiluzhou Subdistrict (Chinese: 水陆洲街道). It was designated as Yuelu District in the early 1950s. In 1953, the Minzhu Jianzheng Subdistrict (Chinese: 民主建政街道) was transferred from Yuelu District to the West District (Chinese: 西区). in March 1960, the Xianfeng People's Commune (Chinese: 先锋人民公社) was established in the West District and the Shuiluzhou Office (Chinese: 水陆洲办事处) was named to the sixth branch (Chinese: 第六分社) of Xianfeng People's Commune. In September 1961, the urban people's commune was revoked and the name of Shuiluzhou Office was restored. In 1968, the isle of Shuilu (Shuilu Zhou) was renamed to Orange Isle (Juzi Zhou), and the subdistrict of Juzizhou was established in the Orange Isle. In 1972, the subdistrict was transferred to Yuelu District from the West District. In 1975, the districts of Yuelu and West were amalgamated to form West District, which was under the jurisdiction of the West District.
Adjusting districts in July 1996, the West District (Chinese: 西区) was abolished, it was replaced by Yuelu District, the subdistrict was under the jurisdiction of Yuelu District. At the beginning of its establishment, the subdistrict's office was located at No.10, Juzhou Xincun Village (north of the Juzizhou Bridge), and it was co-located with the police station. When the Juzizhou Bridge (Chinese: 橘子洲大桥) was built in 1970, its office of the district was demolished. In 1972, its office was moved to No.88, Juzhou Zhongcun Village (Chinese: 桔洲中村), south of the branch bridge (borrowed from the Catholic Church). In September 1993, its office was moved from the Orange Isle to No.99 Xinmin Road (Chinese: 新民路) on the west bank of Xiang River. The office building was started in 1992 and covered an area of 1.5 mu (10 square hectometres (25 acres)) with a building area of 1,497 square metres (16,110 sq ft). In 2001, Yuelu Fishery Farm (Chinese: 岳麓渔场) was merged into the subdistrict. In February 2002, its office was moved from Xinmin Road to the office building of Yuelu Fishery Farm. In 2008, its office was moved to the Fubuhe Road (Chinese: 阜埠河路), and the new office building has a construction area of 6,000 square metres (65,000 sq ft).
