Dongfang was historically part of the Ganen County (感恩县), established during the Sui dynasty (581-618 AD). The area was known for its salt production and as an important stop along the Maritime Silk Road. In 1952, the area was reorganized as Dongfang County, and in 1997 it was upgraded to a county-level city.
The Basuo area was developed as a major fishing port in the 20th century, and the city has gradually transformed from a remote fishing community into a growing coastal city with expanding infrastructure and tourism.
