As of 2020, the earliest relics of human activity discovered in Ningbo City are from the [[:zh:井头山遗址|Jingtou Mountain site]] in Yuyao.

Before the [[Han dynasty]], the area where Ningbo City is located today was sparsely populated. In the [[Xia dynasty]], the location of Ningbo was called "Yin". In the [[Spring and Autumn period]], the area where Ningbo belonged was the [[Yue (state)|Yue State]]. At that time, the Yue King Goujian built Juzhang City in the present-day Cicheng Town, which became the earliest city in Ningbo. In the latter half of the [[Warring States period|Warring States]] period, the area of Ningbo became the jurisdiction of [[Chu (state)|Chu State]]. In 221 BC, Qin unified the six states and the Ningbo area was delegated to [[Kuaiji Commandery]], with three counties of Yin, Yin, and Juzhang (some studies assert there were four counties of Yin, Yin, Juzhang, and Yuyao). In the early years of the Western Han dynasty, [[Kuaiji Commandery]] belonged to the Kingdom of Jing and Wu. After the Seven Kingdoms was settled, [[Kuaiji Commandery]] was restored. In 589 AD (Sui Kai Huang nine years), the counties were merged under the Wu kingdom. |
