Yuyao has a long history, and the Hemudu ancient cultural site within its territory proves that humans settled and multiplied as early as 7,000 years ago.
The county was built in the Qin Dynasty (some say it was built in the Han Dynasty).
The county seat was built in the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is one of the ancient counties in eastern Zhejiang.
According to "Taiping Huanyu Ji": In the early Tang Dynasty, "Yuyao's territory included Mingzhou in the east and Shangyu in the west. It was a giant town in Yuezhou" and was once promoted to Yaozhou.
In the Song Dynasty, it was called "Wang County", "the most famous town in the southeast".
In the first year of Yuanzhen (1295), it was promoted to Yuyao Prefecture.
In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), the prefecture was abolished and the county was restored.

2. Historical evolution There are different opinions on how Yuyao got its name.
One theory is that "Feng Tu Ji" records that the land sealed by Shun Wenshu, Shun's surname was Yao, so it was called Yuyao ("The land sealed by Shun's concubines, Shun's surname was Yao, so it was Yuyao").
Another saying is that according to "Yue Jueshu", Xia Shaokang was granted the title of "Shao Shao Wu Yu" in Kuaiji to commemorate Yu. Yao was the city he was appointed to, so it was called Yu Yao.
Guo Pu notes in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that Juyu Mountain is in the south of Yuyao County in Kuaiji and in the north of Juzhang County, so the two counties are named after this. This is the third theory.
There is also a saying that "the city has Juyu Mountain and Yaojiang River in the south", hence its name.
Another theory is that the "Explanation of Names of Counties and Counties" of the Ming Dynasty said that the county was under the jurisdiction of Kuaiji, west of Yuyao Mountain, and there was a surname of Yao in the east of the river, so it was called Yuyao.
Recently, some people have argued that Yuyao is a place name in Vietnamese, and its meaning is clear.
