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 800,740 as of 2020.[3][4]
History
[edit]During the Warring States period, the area of present-day Fengrun District belonged to the Yan State.[4] In the Qin dynasty, the area was incorporated as part of the Youbeiping Commandery.[4] 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).[4] During the Northern Qi dynasty, Tuyin County was abolished, and merged into Wuzhong County (无终县; 無終縣; Wúzhōng Xiàn).[4]
In 1187, during the Jin dynasty, the area was reorganized as Yongji County (永济县; 永濟縣; Yǒngjì Xiàn).[4] 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.[4]
People's Republic of China
[edit]In 1983, Fengrun County was placed under the jurisdiction of Tangshan.[4]
On February 1, 2002, Fengrun County was upgraded to a district, and absorbed the now-defunct Tangshan New Area (唐山市新区).[4]
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.[4]
In June 2013, Tangshan's municipal government moved the town of Hancheng from Fengrun District to neighboring Lubei District, and the town of Laozhuangzi was moved under the jurisdiction of the Tangshan New Technology Development Zone.[4] In December 2013, the municipal government moved the remainder of Chahe to Fengnan District.[4]
Geography
[edit]Fengrun District is located within the prefecture-level city of Tangshan, in the eastern part of Hebei province.[2] The district is bordered by Tangshan's urban core to the south, and Ninghe District in Tianjin to the southwest.[2]
The Yan Mountains lie to the north of the district, and the district's elevation generally decreases from the northeast to the southwest.[2] Elevation within Fengrun District ranges from 1 metre (3.3 ft) to 648 metres (2,126 ft) above sea level.[2] The Huanxiang River and the Dou River both run through the district.[2]
