In the first year of the Song Chongyi (1102) , Luomeng county, with the name of Luomengzhai(Today’s Xianxi town) at that time, was set up. The obtaining of the name Luomeng is closely related to the fact that the Yi people moved here. In the second year of the Song Chongyi (1103), it was renamed Tongdao county, belonging to Chengzhou(Jingzhou later). The name was closely related to its chief Zhou shilong, who was ordered to “develop the border area” and opened the border crossing between Hunan and Guangxi.
