History

In 1962, Tianding Commune (天顶公社) was organized from Wangyue Commune (望岳公社) and it was placed under the jurisdiction of Bairuo District (白箬区) in Changsha County. In January 1978, the commune of Tianding was under jurisdiction of Bairuo District in Wangcheng County (望城县) with the restoration of Wangcheng County from Changsha County. In March 1984, the township of Tianding was re-established in place of Tianding Commune, the township had 14 villages under the jurisdiction with a total area of 41.7 square kilometers.
