Fengrun District (simplified Chinese: 丰润区; traditional Chinese: 豐潤區; pinyin: Fēngrùn Qū) is a district of the city of Tangshan, Hebei province, China.[1] The district spans an area of 1,326 square kilometres (512 sq mi),[2] and has a population of 916,092 as of 2010.[3]
History
During the Warring States period, the area of present-day Fengrun District belonged to the Yan State.[3] In the Qin dynasty, the area was incorporated as part of the Youbeiping Commandery.[3] During the Western Han dynasty, the area belonged to Tuyin County (土垠县; 土垠縣; Tǔyín Xiàn), Xuwu County (徐无县; 徐無縣; Xúwú Xiàn), and Changcheng County (昌城县; 昌城縣; Chāngchéng Xiàn).[3] During the Northern Qi dynasty, Tuyin County was abolished, and merged into Wuzhong County (无终县; 無終縣; Wúzhōng Xiàn).[3]
In 1187, during the Jin dynasty, the area was reorganized as Yongji County (永济县; 永濟縣; Yǒngjì Xiàn).[3] In 1209, Yongji County was reorganized as Fengrun County, which it remains today, although some put the date of this change at 1368, during the Ming dynasty.[3]
People's Republic of China
In 1983, Fengrun County was placed under the jurisdiction of Tangshan.[3]
On February 1, 2002, Fengrun County was upgraded to a district, and absorbed the now-defunct Tangshan New Area (唐山市新区).[3]
On January 28, 2011, three administrative villages from the town of Chahe were transferred from Fengrun District to the town of Fengnan (now Xugezhuang) in neighboring Fengnan District.[3]
In June 2013, Tangshan's municipal government moved the town of Hancheng [zh] from Fengrun District to neighboring Lubei District, and the town of Laozhuangzi [zh] was moved under the jurisdiction of the Tangshan New Technology Development Zone.[3] In December 2013, the municipal government moved the remainder of Chahe to Fengnan District.[3]
