The municipal government, Intermediate Court and CPC and PSB are all located in Jiangnan.
Historically, Jiangnan and its neighbour Jiangbei formed the urban core of Meixian County, from which both districts were carved according to the new systems of territorial administration following the 1949 Revolution. Both names refer to the Meijiang River, which forms a large ox-bow lake nearby. Jiangnan, meaning "south bank" is on the right as one proceeds downstream, Jiangbei is on the left.
The two districts are linked by many road and foot bridges.
