The Commissioner's office is set up in the special zone, which is the agency of the province.

Ningxiang County, which was originally under its jurisdiction, was assigned to Xiangtan Special Zone, Xiangxiang, Shuangfeng and Lianyuan counties were assigned to Shaoyang Special Zone, and Yiyang, Taojiang, Anhua, Hanshou and Yuanjiang counties and Yiyang City were assigned to Changde Special Zone, which lasted for 1 years. In the meantime, Yiyang City was changed to a provincial city in April 1953, and was authorized to be led by Changde Agency. In July 1958, it was changed to Yiyang County. However, in 1961, the city was changed to a provincial city, and it was still led by Changde Agency.

in December, 1962, the establishment of Yiyang Special Zone was resumed, and the Commissioner's Office was located in Taohualun, Yiyang City, covering Nanxian, Yuanjiang, Huarong, Yiyang, Ningxiang, Taojiang, Anhua and Yiyang City. Datong Lake, Qian Shan Red, Jinpen, Beizhouzi, Chapanzhou and Qianlianghu are six state-owned farms, which are also under the jurisdiction of Yiyang District.
