History
In 350 BC e. the capital of the kingdom of Qin , called “Xianyang”, was transferred to these places from Liyana; and then Xianyang County (咸阳 县) was created. After the founding of Liu Ban in 206 BC. e. Han Empire Xianyang County was renamed Xincheng (新 城县). In 200 BC e. the state’s capital was moved to Chang'an , and these places were annexed to Chang'an County .
