Why is Fan County called “China’s No. 1 Weird County”?

Fan County is under the jurisdiction of Henan and belongs to Puyang City. This county should not be underestimated. It is known as "China's No. 1 Weird County". In China, such a county is very rare. The main strange thing is that this county is located in another province. The old county seat of Fan County is in Yingtaoyuan Town, and most of the areas in Yingtaoyuan Town belong to Liaocheng City, Shandong Province. In fact, we can clearly see on the map that Fan County is located in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province. The old county seat of the county is under the jurisdiction of another province, which is really strange.

In Fan County, Puyang City, Henan Province, there is a popular proverb: "One of the biggest weirdos in the country is that the county seat is located outside the provincial boundaries." This sentence means that the county seat of Fan County is within the jurisdiction of Yingyingyuan Town, Shen County, Shandong Province, and is located at the same location as the town government. As a county town, we are all curious about the reason. It turns out that in April 1964, in order to meet the needs of flood discharge, the state assigned Fan County and Taiqian County on the north bank of the Yellow River to Henan Province as a flood discharge area. Dongming County, which is located on the south bank of the Yellow River and originally belonged to Henan Province, will be placed under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province. At the same time, the five towns of Cherry Garden, Guyun, Guancheng, Gucheng, and Wangzhuangji located in the north of Jindi River and originally belonging to Fan County will be placed under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province. It was placed under Shen County, forming the territory of today's Shen County. Considering that Fan County is located in a flood detention area, Jincun and Zhangfucun, which were originally part of Taoyuan Town, were placed under Fan County for the purpose of building Fanxian County. This resulted in the formation of an extremely special administrative division that is unique in the country. Only then will the phenomenon of "a big weird thing in the country, the county seat is located outside the provincial boundaries" appear.
