Anqing has a long history. Neolithic sites such as Xuejiagang in Qianshan and Zhangsidun in the suburbs bear witness that Anqing's ancestors have lived and multiplied in this beautiful and fertile land since ancient times.

During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Anqing Army was installed, and it was named "Anqing". The construction of Anqing City began in the 10th year of Jiading (1217 AD). From the 25th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1760 AD) to the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937 AD), it was the seat of the capital of Anhui Province and the political, economic and cultural center of Anhui Province. Anhui is the collective name of the first words of "Anqing" and "Huizhou". Because there is a Wan Mountain in Anqing and the Wan River flows around it, there was a Wan State here during the Spring and Autumn Period. This is why Anhui is called "Wan" for short.
