As its name indicates ("Tieshan" means "Iron Mountain"), the district owes its existence to iron-ore mines.
The town is served by China National Highway 106, which also doubles as China National Highway 316 in this part of Hubei.
The only administrative direct subdivision is a town-simulating village (区直辖村模拟镇).[1][2][3][4]
