[4] Liushuquan Town has advantageous geography, location, transportation and natural resources as well as a history of settlement stretching back to the Ming Dynasty.

(该地为低洼滩草圈与水圈地带)[1] In 1662 (the first year of the Kangxi era 清康熙元年), the village of Liushuquan (Willow Tree Quan) for which the town of Liushuquan is named was established by migrants from Hangu, Tianjin (present-day Binhai) who planted willow trees on the border of their village.

In 1671 (the tenth year of the Kangxi era 康熙十年), Jimen (戟门) was established on the western bank of the Dadou River.

In 1682 (the twenty first year of the Kangxi era 康熙二十一年), Laopu (老铺) was established on the eastern bank of the Dadou River.

[1] In 1755 (the twentieth year of the Qianlong era 清乾隆二十年), Aoli (廒里 Áolǐ) was established south of Jimen on the Dadou River.

The village's name is derived from the practice of boiling seawater (熬盐 áoyán) which is a homophone of áo 廒.
