During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this area hosted a palace that served as temporary adobe for the emperor. After the fall of Qing dynasty, the palace was destroyed by armies of the Fengtian clique. The region was given the name Jiugong (Chinese: 旧宫; lit. 'Old Palace') as a result.[3]

History

edit

From 1913 to 1949, it was part of Daxing County, and after the establishment of the People's Republic transferred to Nanyuan District, then established as a township in 1953; five years later Jiugong Township was returned to Daxing County but under the guise of Hongxing People's Commune (红星人民公社). In 1983, the commune was abolished and Jiugong was upgraded to a town in 1990.[4]
