History
During the Warring States period, the area of the present Pidu belonged to the ancient kingdom of Shu. In 314 BC, it was conquered by the state of Qin, which organized Pi County two years later in 312 BC.
In the 19th century, the area was famed for the quality of its tobacco, reckoned the best in Sichuan.
It is now seeking to attract electronics and IT corporations and, in 2015, applied for elevation to urban district status.
