History
[edit | edit source]Most of Dongming County formerly formed part of Yuanqu County, which was abolished in the 12th century after a Yellow River flood destroyed its county seat. In the early 20th century, the county was part of Zhili. Later, the area came under the jurisdiction of Henan. From April 1963, the county became part of Shandong.[2] Within Yuanqu County, the town of Zhuzao (煮栆城, Zhǔzǎochéng) was located within present-day Dongming County.
