Formerly it was a prefecture-level city, which held administration over Wuwei, Lujiang, He and Hanshan counties until it dissolved on August 22, 2011. The Anhui provincial government announced in a controversial decision[1] that the prefecture-level city Chaohu was to be split into three parts and absorbed into neighboring cities.[2] Juchao District was renamed to Chaohu as a county-level city under Hefei's administration.[3]
