Luonan Subdistrict comprised the southern portion of Luojiashan Subdistrict and its predecessors from 1950 to 1986. Luojiashan Subdistrict shifted between Wuchang District and Hongshan District numerous times during this period.[5]
On July 28, 1986, the 27 communities of Wuchang District's Luojiashan Subdistrict to the south of Bayi Road were transferred to Hongshan District. Luonan Subdistrict was created on September 1 with its headquarters in Wuluocun.[6]
In 1996, the total area of the subdistrict was 13.5 square kilometres (5.2 sq mi).[3]
In December 2009, Fengguang Community and part of Shipailing Community were transferred from Wuchang to Luonan Subdistrict.[7]
In November 2010, it was decided that nine Communities of Luonan Subdistrict (Wuhuan, Fushushan, Tiyuan, Shangwen, Zhuodaoquan, Huquan, Mazhuangyuan, Jinchang and Gaochuang) would form part of the new Zhuodaoquan Subdistrict, which was officially implemented in May 2011,[8] after the 2010 Census.
