[edit] History
In May, 1949, Haining was occupied by Communist army, and Haining County was formed, which belonged to Jiaxing Region. In June 1949, the county government was relocated to Xiashi Town. In October, 1958, Haiyan County was merged into Haining. In December, 1961, Haiyan County was re-established. In November, 1986, Haining County was elevated to Haining City, under jurisdiction of Jiaxing. In history, Yanguan Town had long served as the seat of county government. During Sino-Japanese War, the county seat was moved to Yuanhua Town and even outside the county. After the war, the county government was formed in Xiashi Town, and was later moved back to Yanguan Town.
