Toponymy
The district's name in Chinese literally means "East Lake" which refers to Nanchang's East Lake.[3] Donghu is also referred to in Lei Cizong's Records of Yuzhang, written during the Liu Song dynasty.[4]
History
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Daoyuan's Commentary on the Water Classic calls the lake Taihu, but it has been called Dong Hu (East Lake) since the Tang and Song Dynasties.[3]
The district contains five gates of the old city of Nanchang, dating to the Qing Dynasty - Zhangjiang Gate, Desheng Gate, Yonghe Gate, Guangrun Gate, and a part of Hue Gate. Three historic streets (Middle Street, West Street, East Street), are all within one jurisdiction which later became Donghu District.[3]
In 1926, after Nanchang was officially a city, it had different districts.[3]
The government divided the jurisdiction of the area into two districts at the beginning of 1949 but did not give them distinct names and merged into one. Then, the first and second districts were restored in August 1951, and in April 1955, they were renamed Donghu District and Shengli District, respectively. In June 1980, the two districts later merged into one Donghu District.[3]
In 2019, Donghu District's two sub-districts and one town (Shajin subdistrict, Weidong subdistrict, Shengmi town) were placed under the jurisdiction of Honggutan District.[5]
