The famous historical figures born at Guangshan included Sima Guang (司马光, 1019–1086), Cai Yizhong (蔡毅中, 1567-1631), and Huxu (胡煦, 1655-1736).
During the Chinese Civil War, Guangshan county was at the heart of the Eyuwan Soviet (including the soviet capital). The Eyuwan Soviet included more than one million people in the border region between Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces and was the second-largest soviet in China.[7][8]
