History
[edit]The name of "Hebi" first appears in book "History of Jin".It is believed that during ancient times, cranes would rest on the cliffs of the southern mountains. The southern mountain was then named hạc sơn (HeShan), where hạc means crane. The village near the southern mountain was then named hạc vách tường (Hebi), which literally translates to" Cranes resting on cliffs ").
Relocation of the Urban Area of Hebi
[edit]The urban area of Hebi has undergone three relocations. In 1957, the urban area was selected to be in Hebiji. With the construction of the mine #2 and mine #3, the urban area moved south to what is now known as Zhongshan District in December 1957. Later in 1959, the urban area changed from Zhongshan District to another district that is known as Dahu. However, the surrounding areas of the urban area became mostly subsidence areas, restricting further development of the city. Therefore, in 1992, Hebi government established Qibin Economic Development Zone at the junction of Qi County, Junxian County in the southeast. As the scale of the Qibin Economic Development Zone expands, the political center of the city also moved to Qibin District in May 1999. Qibin District is now the new political, economic center of Hebi City.
