On the promotion of county to city

After the abolition of Yulin area, the establishment of prefecture-level Yulin city also catered to the trend of "city governing county system" after the 1980 s. It was in 1988 that Guixian was removed from the county to set up a city and established Guigang, but it was only a county-level city at that time and still belonged to Yulin area.

In the 1990s, Guigang developed by leaps and bounds. 1996 was directly upgraded from a county-level Guigang to a prefecture-level city! At the same time, by the way, it has jurisdiction over Gangbei District, Gangnan District, Tang Qin Administrative District and Pingnan County, as well as hosting a Guiping City.

Note: After Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan, there were Nanhai County, Guilin County and Elephant County in Lingnan. The city began to establish a political system, belonging to Xiang County and Guilin County. Qin Ershi, the successor of Qin Wei in Nanhai, annexed Zhao Tuo to Guilin County and Xiang Jun County, and administered Lingnan. Nanyue State was established in the early Han Dynasty, and Yulin City was subordinate to Nanyue State.

1952, Guixian was transferred from Binyang area to Rongxian area, and Xingye county was abandoned. Most of them were merged into Yulin county, one into Guixian county, Bobai county into Qinzhou area, and the following year into Rongxian area.

1956 In March, Yulin County was renamed as Yulin County.
