The town's name originated in the Yuan dynasty. At the time the settlement in this region was called Shayu (Chinese: 沙峪; lit. 'Sand Ravine') for its concaved landscape and being covered in sands. It was split into two villages in the Ming dynasty, and Houshayu became the predecessor of the town today.
