The prefectural seat of Wenzhou and the county seat of Yongjia were in the same walled city from 675 to 1958, making the two names often interchangeable in the history. In some early European sources, the city's name was transcribed as Ouen-tcheou-fou (Wenzhou Fu) or Wen-tcheou (Wenzhou). The postal romanisation of Wenzhou and Yongjia is Wenchow and Yungkia respectively, which were widely used until Pinyin was popularised in the 1980s.
