Nanhui District (simplified Chinese:南汇区;traditional Chinese:南匯區;pinyin:Nánhuì Qū;lit. 'South-confluence District'),formerly romanized as Nanhwei, was a district ofShanghai until it was merged intoPudong New Area in May 2009. It had a land area of about 809.5 km2 (312.5 sq mi) and a 59.5 km (37.0 mi) coastline. The population of Nanhui was 975,017 as of August 2006. On May 6, 2009, it was announced that theState Council of China had approved the proposal to merge Nanhui District into Pudong, which is also a district of Shanghai.
About 2000 years ago, the water of theYangtze River ran to the south because of sea tide and met theQiantang River so as to form the land near theTang dynasty, so this district was named by Nanhuizui (Nan is South, Hui meansconverge, and Zui means mouth in Chinese). Nanhui County was established from Shanghai County in 1726.
In 2001, Nanhui County was renamed Nanhui District. In May 2009 Nanhui was merged intoPudong New Area.
