## History

[edit]

The ancient name of Pengzhen was Yongfengchang (Chinese: 永丰场).[6] It was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It was destroyed by war in the early Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in the 28th year of Qianlong (1763).[7] Because a branch of the Danleng Peng Duanshu (Chinese: 丹棱彭端淑) family migrated here, it was named Pengjiachang (Chinese: 彭家场; lit. 'Peng family place').[8]

After the Chinese Communist Party came to power in 1949, Pengjia Town of the Third District (Chinese: 彭家镇属第三区) was established.[8] In 1953, Pengjia Town (Chinese: 彭家镇) was divided into Pengzhen and Pengzhen Township (Chinese: 彭镇乡).[8] In 1958, Pengzhen’s organizational structure was dissolved, and Pengzhen Township, Ca'er Township (Chinese: 擦耳乡), Hongshi Township (Chinese: 红石乡) and Ganzi Township (Chinese: 柑梓乡) were merged to form the Dongfeng People’s Commune (Chinese: 东风人民公社).[8]

Pengzhen Township was re-established in 1983.[9] The name reverted to Pengzhen in 1984.[9] In 1992, Pengzhen and Ganzi Township merged, and the merged township is still named Pengzhen.[9] In December 2019, the town of Jinqiao (金桥镇) was dissolved and its administrative area was placed under the jurisdiction of Pengzhen.[10]
