Name
As a separate city, Zhifu's name was variously romanized as Chefoo,Postal Map Romanization. {{nowrap|Che-foo,{{sfnp|EB|1878}}}} {{nowrap|Chi-fu,{{sfnp|EB|1911|p=132}}}} and {{nowrap|Chih-fou}}. Although this name was used for the city by foreigners prior to the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War, the locals referred to the settlement as Yantai (q.v.) throughout.{{sfnp|EB|1878}}{{sfnp|EB|1911|p=132}}
History
The area was inhabited as early as the Neolithic period by the Dongyi people. It was part of Qi County during the Qin dynasty.
Formerly a small unwalled fishing village, Zhifu grew when its harbor was chosen to act as the international port for the larger city of Tengchow (now Penglai) nearby. It now forms part of the urban core of Yantai.
