Zhijun was colonized by the Qian Dinasty during the maritime campaign of the Yuanjian Emperor in the early 1210's, intended to 'seed' his people across to the farthest reaches of the world. A fort and a town named Yishi were founded and aftwerwards ten thousand colonists were mostly abandoned to their fate on the island, with the Imperial authorities leaving behind a 300 strong garrison and a member of the Grand Bureaucracy to serve as administrator. These elements were rotated on a 10 year basis.

The Republican era saw renewed attention on the island by metropolitan authorities due to its vulnerability during the [[Great War]]. Heavy handed military government was imposed, which would lead to periodic outbreaks of civil disobedience and armed rebellion. The Hluttaw rebellion of the late 1980's was the longest and most severe period of unrest on the island.

The end of the Hluttaw Rebellion saw the installation of the [[Green Army]] as the island's administrators.
