Changes in Jiangmen I found an article about the changes in Jiangmen in the qzone of a Jiangmen resident. As a Jiangmen person, I felt it was necessary to understand this common sense, so I reprinted it and shared it with fellow bloggers: 1. First of all, it is proved
Yes, the urban area of ??Jiangmen is named "Jiangmen" because it is located at the confluence of the Xijiang River and its tributary, the Pengjiang River. Yandun Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River and Penglai Mountain in the north of the Yangtze River face each other like a door.
Before Jiangmen was established as a city, it was the territory of Xinhui County.
As early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1388 AD), a market was formed here.
At the beginning of the 17th century, Jiangmen Market prospered due to commerce and gradually became a trading center in the Pearl River Delta. Most commodities from the middle and lower reaches of the Xijiang River were distributed here.
In 1904, Jiangmen was opened as a foreign trade port, and Jiangmen North Street Customs was established, one of the eight major customs in Guangdong.
Modern Western industry and culture were also introduced and developed.
In 1925, Jiangmen was designated as a provincial city.
In 1931, the city was abolished and returned to the jurisdiction of Xinhui County.
Jiangmen was liberated on October 23, 1949.
In January 1951, Jiangmen was changed to a provincial city.
Later, it was successively under the jurisdiction of the Central Guangdong Administrative Office, Zhaoqing District, and Foshan District.
In 1983, Jiangmen City was designated as a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of the province and implemented a new system of municipal administration and county administration, with jurisdiction over seven counties: Xinhui, Taishan, Kaiping, Enping, Heshan, Yangjiang, and Yangchun.
In 1988, Yangjiang and Yangchun were separated and Yangjiang City was established.
From 1992 to 1994, five counties were successively withdrawn from counties and established as cities, and were managed by Jiangmen City.
In September 2002, Xinhui was removed from the city and divided into districts, and merged into Jiangmen urban area.
