Present-day Wuhu evolved out of a settlement known as Jiuzi (), located on the southern bank of the Shuiyang River, about southeast of Wuhu's contemporary urban core. Jiuzi was a site of conflict prior to 670 BCE between the Chu and the Wu during the Spring and Autumn period. In 473 BCE, the Yue took Jiuzi from the Wu. In 306 BCE, the Chu took Jiuzi from the Yue.
