Xixiping was a part of the former Dongping Township (Chinese: 东坪乡) in 1949. Xixiping Commune (Chinese: 西溪坪公社) was formed in 1958 and reorganized as a township in 1984. The township was reorganized as a subdistrict in 1985. 11 villages of the former Guanmenyan Township (Chinese: 关门岩乡) and three villages of the former Tianmenshan Township (Chinese: 天门山乡) were merged to it in 1995.[2] On November 27, 2015, six villages of the former Sancha Township (Chinese: 三岔乡) were amalgamated to the subdistrict.[1]
