History
In ancient times, Chumen was originally just the sea, but it became – when Mount Yaji and Mount Xiqing formed an estuary in the ocean. The late Yuan Dynasty (1341-1367) had enclosed the tideland for cultivation. The town was named after the cluster of Chu trees (Vitex) that grew there.

During the 20 years of Emperor Hongwu’s reign in the Ming Dynasty he had his massive imperial army build the city in 1387, and it first belonged to Leqing county. When the next Ming Dynasty Emperor Chenghua held a 12-year reign, it became part of Taiping county in 1476. While Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty held power for 6 years, Chumen was governed by Yuhuan officials in 1728. During the period that was known as the Republic China, Chumen was reclassified as a town belonging to Yuhuan county. In May 1992, Tian Ma and Waitang township merged into what is now known as Chumen.
