Why are the county seats of many counties called Chengguan Town or Chengxiang Town?

Many counties have Chengguan Town.

The reason is that a county's governance office (that is, the location of **) is usually located in a relatively large concentration of residents, in ancient times, usually in the county seat of the city wall to build, some also in the periphery to build Guo (outer city wall).

Because you must pass through the city gate (pass) to enter and exit the county, people are used to calling the place where the county seat is located Chengguan.

Contemporary administrative divisions.

The township level includes: township, township, autonomous township, etc. Generally, township-level units in agricultural areas are set as "townships", while township-level units with a certain economic standard and a certain scale of non-agricultural population are designated as "towns".

The place where the county is set up is generally the more economically developed area of the county, and the place name "Chengguan" + administrative division "town" is generally used.

But in the "county-level city.

Chengguan Town is rare, because the city's planning area is equivalent to the level of "township", which is the "sub-district office" of the county-level city and district **.

A similar situation was the case in the early eighties when the "region" was changed to "prefecture-level city".

At that time, after a city was upgraded to a regional level, the original county-level city jurisdiction was changed to "city district".

In recent years, there has been widespread awareness of this problem and trying to avoid it when changing place names.

I was about to ask this, too, and let me know the answer when I know the answer.

The difference between Chengguan Town and Organized Town:

1. In terms of level, Chengguan Town is one level higher than the organized town, and the organized town is the subordinate unit of Chengguan Town.

2. The largest and most developed concentration of residents in the county is Chengguan Town. And the organized town only needs to reach a certain size.

3. The head of a town (township) is generally at the section level, while the county head is at the department level, and the administrative district category of a sub-county-level town is also an organized town.

In accordance with the standards for building towns, we should do a good job in planning and rational distribution, so that the construction of small towns can truly play a role in promoting the exchange of materials between urban and rural areas and economic development. With the growth of organized towns, it also shows that China's national economy has achieved sustained high growth, which further promotes China's urbanization process.

In addition, the administrative district category of sub-county-level towns is also organized towns, and the administrative level of their administrative organs is higher than that of ordinary organized towns. Market towns refer to the places where the people of townships and ethnic townships are located and the non-organized towns that have been confirmed by the people at the county level to be developed from the bazaar as a service center for rural economy, culture and life.

Hello, Chenghuchi and Guanzhen refer to the administrative areas established on the ** to undertake comprehensive management, service and development functions, which can be divided into two types: county-level cities with cities and provincial-level cities with districts. They are the grassroots units of administrative divisions, mainly responsible for public management, social services and economic development within their jurisdiction.

Township refers to the administrative area established by **, which is a county-level unit of administrative division, mainly responsible for social governance and economic development within its jurisdiction. The functions and scale of townships are smaller than those of Chengguan Township, and there is no independent administrative area and financial expenditure, and the governance relies on the support of the county. Secondly, Chengguan Town is the basic administrative division unit of the city, with more first-class institutions, public units, commercial and other service facilities than the township, the population is relatively large and the quality of residents is higher, there are more jobs and career opportunities, the city is more prosperous, Chengguan Town can be divided into a number of distinctive, self-contained residential areas in accordance with the city's administrative functions.

The township is generally a division unit outside the city, with more agricultural production functions, the population is generally small, the distance from the urban area is farther, the quality of residents is lower, the service facilities are less, the economic development is lagging behind, the township is generally composed of multiple villages, the distance between the villages is relatively close, and there are few characteristic residential communities.

Chengguan Town is the seat of the county-level ** organ and the name of the ruler of the urban area.

It is also the industrial and commercial center of the county. Chengguan Town has jurisdiction over the urban area.

All the sub-districts within the jurisdiction of the population are non-agricultural households.

Other towns and towns are prepared for poverty and digging, and they refer to the imitation nuclear towns and streets outside the county seat, and the administrative functions are realized.

Can not be perfected without Chengguan Town. Most of the household registrations under the jurisdiction belong to the agricultural population, and most of the jurisdictions are in agricultural areas. Chengguan Town belongs to the urban area, others.

Townships are agricultural areas.

Chengguan Town is often located at the junction of urban and rural areas, and it has the advantage of geographical location and strong economic strength. The geographical location of the township is far away from the city, and the dividends of urban development are naturally less, so from the economic and cultural aspects, there is a certain gap between the township and Chengguan Town.

1 There are many differences between Chengguan towns and townships.

2 Chengguan Town is the administrative division of the city center, usually with ** institutions, commercial centers, medical institutions, cultural and entertainment facilities, etc., with a relatively large population and a high level of economic development.

Townships are administrative divisions of rural areas, mainly populated by peasants, with a relatively small population and a low level of economic development, and usually do not have too many commercial, cultural and entertainment facilities.

3 In addition, there are also great differences between Chengguan Town and Township Bench in terms of geographical location and cultural traditions.

The town where the county party committee, county **, county people's congress, and county CPPCC (collectively referred to as the "four major teams") of a county is located is called "Chengguan Town"; It is also the most economically developed town in the county.

Chengguan Town, generally the county seat (county party committee, county government) is the name of the town, there are many counties in the country have the name of Chengguan Town, which is a product of a certain era background. A thousand towns, I can't find the characteristics of this town... It should be regarded as Chinese characteristics.
