Jiaonan (simplified Chinese: 胶南; traditional Chinese: 膠南; pinyin: Jiāonán) is a former county-level city under the administration of Qingdao, Shandong, People's Republic of China, located in the southwestern portion of Qingdao City along the Yellow Sea coast. In 1945, as Zhushan County (珠山縣) it was carved from the former Jiao County (膠縣) and Qingdao City, and in 1946, renamed as Jiaonan County (膠南縣), deriving its name from its southern location relative to Jiaozhou Bay. In 1990, it was upgraded to a county-level city, remaining so before finally being merged into Huangdao District in December 2012.[1]
