The origin of Zhangjiajie's name:

"Boundary" has two meanings in a city: one is territorial boundary, and the other is high mountain. The Daoguang edition of Yongding County Records in Qing Dynasty wrote: "Wuxuxi originated in Zhangjiajie." The Republic of China edition of Cili County Records reads: "Suoxi originated in Zhangjiajie." Zhangjiajie here refers to the surrounding area of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park today.

The name Zhangjiajie was first seen in the preface to Zhang's Genealogy in the fourth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (163 1). The author of the preface is the sixth generation grandson of Zhang Wancong, the governor of Yongding. During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty (1488~ 1506), the court saw that Zhang Wancong had made meritorious service in guarding the country and gave him the "land of mountains and forests" in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park as a fief. So he went up the mountain with his family to run his business.
