During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the New Fourth Army established Huaibao and Hongze counties around Lake Hongze, in 1940 and 1941 respectively. Both counties were dissolved in 1950. The new Hongze county, within a wider area around the lake, was founded to implement the guiding principle of "reshuffling administrative divisions by the lake" in 1956.[2]
