History
At the beginning of the Zhou era, the kingdom of Xiangzi (项 子 国) was located in these places. In the era of Oyster and Autumn, it was annexed by the kingdom of Lou, and in the era of the Warring kingdoms, the kingdom of Lou was captured by the kingdom of Chu. In 278 BC e. the kingdom of Qin captured a large chunk of territory in the west of Chu, which was the capital of the kingdom, and Chu was forced to relocate the capital to Chen, and the auxiliary capital was located in these places.
Under the Qin Empire, these places became part of Chenxian County (陈 县). Under the Han Empire, Xiangxian County (项 县) was allocated from it.
During the numerous wars of the era of the Southern and Northern dynasties, the rivers were ways of transferring armies, and therefore these places more than once passed from hand to hand. During the southern Song Dynasty, Xiangxian County was renamed Xiangcheng (项 城县), under the Northern Wei Empire, the name Xiangxian was returned to it.
Under the Sui Empire, the county was again called Xiangcheng.
In 1949, Huaiyang Special District (淮阳 专区) was established, and the county became part of it. In 1953, Huaiyang Special District was disbanded, and the county became part of the Shangqiu Special Region (商丘 专区). In 1958, the Shangqiu Special District was annexed to the Kaifeng Special Region (开封 专区), but was rebuilt in 1961.
In 1965, the Zhoukou Special District (周口 专区) was created, and the county became part of it. In 1969, the Zhoukou Special District was renamed Zhoukou County (周口 地区). In 1993, Xiangcheng County was transformed into a city county.
On June 8, 2000, by the decision of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, Zhoukou County and the city district of Zhoukou were disbanded, and the city district of Zhoukou was formed.
