History
The district grew from the former Neijiang County (内江县). Its administrative history begins with Han’an (汉安), established during the Eastern Han dynasty; the name changed to Zhongjiang (中江) under the Northern Zhou and Neijiang under the Sui. The county became Dongxing District in November 1989.
