Wuchang House was founded in Kangxi. After the Revolution of 1911, Jiangxia County was changed to Wuchang County, and Wuchang became the official name. ?

Hankou appeared as a place name in historical records during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Today's Hankou actually has only a history of more than 500 years, which began with the diversion of Hanshui River during Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty. The Hanshui River was originally injected into the Yangtze River from the south of Guishan, and its mainstream was injected into the Yangtze River from Jijiazui in the north of Guishan during Chenghua years. After the diversion of the Hanshui River, the low-lying wasteland developed into Hankou, which is also known as the four famous towns with Zhu Xian in Henan, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi and Foshan in Guangdong. After the Opium War, Hankou opened a port for trade and developed more rapidly. ?

In 606 AD, Hanyang changed Hanjin County to Hanyang County, and the name of Hanyang began. After the county government moved to Hanyang City in the Tang Dynasty, it developed rapidly. At the beginning of 1927, Wuhan National Government merged Wuchang and Hankou (under Hanyang County) into the capital and named it Wuhan. Today, Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang make up the "Wu Hancheng" with a history of only 74 years.
