The development of history

Baihe County, which belongs to Hanzhong County in the Qin Dynasty, was renamed Fengli County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, abandoned Yunhe County in the Song Dynasty, and later belonged to Xunyang. In the eighth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, Baihe Fort was established in the east of Xunyang County in A.D. 1472. This is the first time in historical records that the White River has appeared.

Only four years later, 1476 set up Baihe County alone, belonging to the newly established Yunyang Prefecture. The Yunyang government is roughly equivalent to Shiyan City, Hubei Province, but the government at this time is in Yunxian County.

Only one year later, it was changed to Jinzhou, and then Jinzhou was changed to Xing 'an Prefecture and Xing 'an Prefecture, but the ownership of Baihe remained unchanged. During the Republic of China, Baihe belonged to Hanzhong Road in Shaanxi. At this time, most of Ankang also belongs to Hanzhong Road, and it has belonged to Ankang since 1935.
