History
The name "Futian" derives from an inscription dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1297) that reads: "Lakes and mountains are blessed with fertile farmlands." Another written record shows that people from Shangsha Village built houses in Songziling in 1192, and farmlands were cultivated in lattice shapes, which in Chinese is a homophone for "Futian," which means "blessed fields" in Chinese. The Futian District People's Government was established in October 1990.
