History

Dazehu was formed by the revocation of Xingcheng and the establishment of three new subdistricts in 2012. Xingcheng (Chinese: 星城镇) was formed by Dahu (Chinese: 大湖乡) and Gushan (Chinese: 谷山乡) in 1995. In 1997, it had 22 villages and two residential communities.[2]

In July 2012, Xingcheng was reclassified from a town to a subdistrict. On August 28, 2012, Xingcheng was divided into three subdistricts: Baishazhou (Chinese: 白沙洲街道), Dazehu (Chinese: 大泽湖街道) and Yueliangdao (Chinese: 月亮岛街道).
