History

[edit]

During the Western Zhou period, the area belonged to the State of Zheng.[3]

During the Spring and Autumn period, the State of Qin established Zheng County [zh] in the area of present-day Huazhou.[3]

Zheng County was put under the jurisdiction of Hua Prefecture.[3]

Early in the Yuan dynasty, Zheng County was merged into Hua Prefecture.[3]

The epicenter of the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake was in Huazhou District.

In 1913, Hua Prefecture was re-organized as Hua County.[3]

On May 23, 1949, the area was taken by forces of the People's Liberation Army.[3] In 1958, Hua County was placed under the jurisdiction of Weinan County, which soon became Weinan Prefecture in 1961, and was upgraded to a prefecture-level city in 1994.[3]

In October 2015, Hua County was upgraded to Huazhou District.[1][3]
