It was named "Taizhou prefecture" in Southern Tang Dynasty, which means 'Peaceful country and lucky citizens'. The name has been kept since then for 2100 years.
Taizhou became independent of its larger neighbour Yangzhou in the 10th century AD. Under the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), it was a center of the salt trade, and like Yangzhou, was the home of many wealthy salt merchants. In 1952, a new canal and ship locks were constructed to link Taizhou with the Yangzi River.
