Overview of Jingdian Town

Jingdian was named after a family named Jing who opened a business and travel shop here before it was a residential area during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was known as the "Jingjia Old Store". There is an old saying that "Chencun Ji was destroyed and Jingdian Ji was raised". Chencun Ji was originally located at the former site of the Dragon King Temple in the south of Qiankou Village, Liucun Township. It is said that in the late Sui Dynasty, "Shi Danai made a big fuss about Chencun Ji". It is said that due to the flooding of the Yellow River and sandstorm attacks, the Chen family moved to Beiliucun and Jingdian. Jingdianji gradually flourished.

Jingdian belonged to Linhe County in the Sui Dynasty, Neihuang County in the Tang Dynasty, and Chanzhou (now Puyang) in the Song Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was located at the corner of the three adjacent counties of Pu Neihua. The affiliations are intertwined: Dongmenwai and Southmenwai belong to Hua County, Beiliuwai belongs to Neihuang, Ximenwai and the town belong to Kaizhou Puyang County, so it is known as "two provinces, three counties plus one continent". In the 11th year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1861), a fortress was built with a circumference of 9 miles. The large characters on the forehead of the four gates are: "Looking east to Chanzhou" (ancient Chanzhou today Puyang), "looking west to Xingcui" (Taihang Mountain) and "south". Xiangbaima" (formerly known as Baima County and Baimapo, now part of Hua County), "near Huangchi in the north" (another name for Neihuang). In 1938, the walls and gates of the village still existed.

Because Jingdian is located at the junction of three counties, it is convenient for carrying out revolutionary activities. In 1927, Wang Congwu, Ping Jiesan, and Yu Ping established the Party branch of the Communist Party of China here. In 1928, the Central Communist Party underground The Puyang County Party Committee once moved to Jingdian Wanxiao. In 1940, the Anti-Japanese People's Government of Gaoling County was established with Jingdian as the center, which was known as the "Little Yan'an" of the revolutionary base area in Hebei, Shandong and Yusha District. In 1949, Gaoling County was abolished, and Jingdian became the seat of the Sixth District Office of Neihuang County. In 1951, Wang Congwu led a condolence delegation from the central old district back to Jingdian and approved the establishment of the old district middle school, the old district people's hospital and the old district people's cultural center in Jingdian. In 1957, Jingdian District was abolished and Jingdian Township was established as a district-level organization. In 1958, it was changed to Jingdian People's Commune. In 1984, Jingdian Township was restored. In 1987, the township was removed and a town was established. The town people's government was located at the former site of Dongyuan District Office on Nanjie Road. . In July 1994, the town government moved to its current location in the northwest of the intersection of Tangpu Railway and Neichun Highway in the southwest of the town.
