It originated in the early Yuan Dynasty and spanned the three dynasties of yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties
. 
Today, it covers an area of 150 mu

According to records, the current Zhaojia building was still a coastal place in the Northern Song Dynasty, only about 30 miles away from the Hanhai pond
. 
The seawall reaches Wusong River in the north, Pukou in the South and Jinshanwei in the south
. 
Outside the seawall is the vast sea, and inside the seawall is the vast plain
. 
This broad and boundless land is the area first known as “Pudong”
. 
At this time, Pudong is still in the primitive ecology of “two or three miles at a glance, four or five smoke villages”, blue sky, white cranes flying, wild pond and spring grass fertilizer
. 
After the Southern Song Dynasty moved its capital to Lin’an (now Hangzhou), farmers, scholars and officials in the Central Plains went south with the regime, and some of them moved to the area of zhaojialou
. 
A large area of virgin land to be reclaimed and a large number of labor force have inspired the idea of reclamation in the talk of virtue
. 
So he took advantage of the government’s policy of “reclaiming wasteland can be exempted from three years of grain” to “recruit exiled people” to reclaim wasteland and farm, thus revealing the reclamation history of his family and Pudong
. 
In order to facilitate the convening and management of reclamation farmers, Tan Dezhong built a platform style small building at the North Street of today’s zhaojialou Town, which is named because “the small building is specially used to summon farmers”
. 
In order to strengthen effective management, Tan Tian transformed the platform type “Zhaojia building” into a bell tower, “hanging a big bell”
. 
Ring the bell every day to call the ploughmen scattered near the Zhaojia building to work in the field and go home to rest
. 
With the rapid development of land reclamation, a large number of land reclamation farmers settled around the zhaojialou area according to local conditions, and the subsequent merchants, gentry and literati also built houses near the zhaojialou
. 
Zhaojialou became more and more popular and gradually became a prosperous market town
