History
Linjiang County (临江县) was established under Ba Commandery (巴郡) in Han Dynasty. In Western Wei, Lin Prefecture (临州, Linzhou) was established, with Linjiang as its seat. In Tang Dynasty, it was renamed as Zhong Prefecture (忠州, Zhongzhou, literally "loyal prefecture"). In 1913, Zhongzhou was replaced by Zhong County.[1]
