History[]
In the late 19th century, Dazu was the site of major violence led by the Gelaohui against Chinese Christians who were accused of controlling the local coal market, and resented for the large church built between two major temples devoted to on the main market square. This church was destroyed multiple times in the 1880s and 1890s. The violence displaced thousands of people, with one incident, in 1890 leading to the deaths of 12 Christians who refused to bow to statues of Lingguan.[1][2]
In October 2011, Dazu County and Shuangqiao District were merged to form the new Dazu District.[3]
