History
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Nanshan was largely a rural area before being rapidly developed since the late 1970s,with the exception of a few towns and villages. The most notable town amongst them was Nantou(南头), the seat of San On(Bao'an County) for almost 1700 years. It is now located at the western end of Shennan Road, near the district government.
In September 1983, Nantou district was established; it was county-level administratively. Less than a year later in August 1984 Shekou, which came to be known as Shekou subdistrict today, split off as a separate district from Nanshan. In September 1990 the two districts combined to form the present Nanshan District.
Like many other parts of Shenzhen, Nanshan experienced large sums of migrants from other parts of the country. Much of the original towns in the district had either been demolished to make way for developments or became what are to be known as urban villages.
Demographics
As of the end of 2011,Nanshan district has a total resident population of 1,087,936 and a census-registered population of 0.5492 million. The vast majority of the population are concentrated in the southern half of the district.
