It is assumed that the first city in Guangzhou was founded in 214 BC. It was called Panyu. In 206 BC it became the capital city of the Nanyue Kingdom. After conquering the kingdom by Han Dynasty in 111 BC, the city became the capital city of the province.
Over next centuries Guangzhou maintained its high status and prestige as a main trade seaport and as an important cultural centre in China.
Guangzhou remained in a high position until the outbreak of the First Opium War in 1839. After a series of battles in Greater Bay Area, British conquered Guangzhou on March 18, 1841. The second battle of Canton took place two months later and according to the agreement in Qing Empire from 1842 with the United Kingdom, Guangzhou lost its privileged trade status because more and more of the treaty ports were opened to an increasing number of countries, including in general territorial enclaves. Amid the decline of the Qing dynasty and the chaos associated with the choice of new power, for the disaster, the cities waged a series of clan wars from 1855 to 1867, in which died about one million people.
