Xichong County (Chinese: 西にし充たかし县; pinyin: Xīchōng Xiàn) is a county in the northeast of Sichuan Province, China. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Nanchong.[1]

Historical Evolution

[edit]

During the Republic of China (1912-1949), the establishment of Xichong County was the same as the time of the Qing dynasty. In 1914, North Sichuan Road was changed to Jialing Road, and Xichong County was under the jurisdiction of Jialing Road. In 1935, the road was abandoned and changed to the 11th Administrative Inspectorate District of Sichuan Province.[1]

After the Chinese Civil War concluded, and the People's Republic of China was founded, the North Sichuan Administrative office was established, and Xichong came under the jurisdiction of the Nanchong Special District.[1]
