Dianbei Commandery was established in AD528 under the
Liang dynasty. It and the subsequent
Dianbei County were organized under
Gaozhou Commandery. Under the
Qing, Dianbai was one of the major ports of Guangdong. After the
Chinese Civil War, it was placed under
Maoming and eventually promoted to an urban district. Dianbai absorbed Maoming's former
Maogang District on 23 February 2014. ==Climate==
