In 2000, a cache of Chu (state) Warring States period funerary artifacts dating to 340-300 BC was unearthed in eastern Wulipu's Zuozhong village during the construction of the G55 Erenhot–Guangzhou Expressway, locally the Xiang(yang)-Jing(zhou) Highway (襄荆高速公路).[3][4][6]

In March 2001, Shayang County's Caochang Township (草场) was disestablished. The former township became part of western Wulipu.[3][7][8]
