Before Liberation, the town was known as Baishui Township (Chinese: 白水乡).
In 1951 part of its territory was used to form the new township of Dongying (东营, meaning east camp). Seven years later, as the 2nd 5-year plan (AKA Great Leap Forward) got underway, the two territories were recombined as Dongying.
Baishui was created as a People's commune in 1972, by the addition to Dongying Commune of two production brigades—Hengchuan and Chanxi—originally in Qiubei Commune.
Though differing from its pre-Liberation form in these additions, Baishui was made back into a township in 1984. It has been a town since 1993.
