History
When these places became part of the kingdom of Qin, Lintao County (临 挑 县) was created here.
Under the Western Wei empire, the Mingzhou (岷州) region was formed in 544, whose powers were located in Lintao, renamed Ile (溢 乐 县).
Under the Sui Empire, Lintao County was again created, which was then again transformed into the Mingzhou region.
After the Xinhai revolution in China, a reform of the administrative division structure was carried out, during which oblasts were abolished; in 1913, the Mingzhou region was transformed into Mingxian County.
The Mingxian Special Region (район 专区) was formed in 1949, and the county became part of it. In May 1950, the Mingxian Special District was disbanded, and the county became part of the Wudu Special Region (武 都 专区). In April 1958, the Wudu Special Region was disbanded, and Mingxian County became part of the Tianshui Special Region (天水 专区). On December 16, 1958, Mingxian County was transferred to the Dingxi Special Region (定 西 专区). In 1961, Mingxian County was transferred to the newly created Lintao Special Region (临洮 专区). In 1963, Lintao Special District was disbanded, and Mingxian County became part of the recreated Wudu Special Region. In 1968, the Udu Special District was renamed the Udu County (武 都 地区).
