Tongli Ancient Town belongs to Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, and was founded in the Song Dynasty.

The history of Tongli can be traced back to Songze Culture and Liangzhu Culture five or six thousand years ago. As early as the Neolithic age, there were ancestors who cultivated and burned land here and thrived. Superior natural conditions make it the richest place in the kingdom of Wu, so it was originally named "rich soil".

In the early Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Tongli because its name was too extravagant. It is also a rural city, in Jiuli Village. In the third year of Kaiping in Hou Liang (909), King Qian Liu of wuyue zoned Wuxian South and Jiaxing North to establish Wujiang County, among which Tongli belongs to probation township of Wujiang County.

In the Song Dynasty, after the town was formally established, probation township and Tongli belonged to Panyu township. The old name "rich soil" is overlapped, and then the word is divided into two parts, the upper part is "tong" and the lower part is "Tian" and "Tu", which become Tongli.
