History

Archeological digs in Xuancheng have found pottery and stoneware indicative of the Liangzhu Culture.[3]

During the Spring and Autumn period, the area belonged to the State of Wu, although, upon the decline of Wu, the area was also ruled by the State of Chu and the State of Yue, respectively.[3]

Under the Qin dynasty, the area was administered as Zhang Commandery (صينية: 鄣郡�),[3] which became the Danyang Commandery (zh) in 109 BCE, under the Western Han Dynasty.[4] During the Danyang Commandery, Wanling (صينية: 宛陵�, presently Xuanzhou District, the site of the Xuancheng Municipal Government) served as the administrative center.[3] Xuanzhou has been the political, economic and cultural center of administration since then.[بحاجة لمصدر] In 281 CE, Xuancheng Commandery (zh) was established.[3]

Xuancheng became a prefecture-level city in 2000.[4]
