It was first established in the fourth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (199), when Songyang County was set up in the southern township of Zhang'an County, which belonged to Huijian County, and was the earliest county in the Lishui region.

On November 21, 1958, Songyang County was abolished and the territory under its jurisdiction was incorporated into Suichang County, and on January 30, 1982, Songyang County was re-established as part of the Lishui region.
