History

Before Russia coerced a lease of the Lüshun Naval Port from the Qing dynasty and established Dalian as a commercial port in 1898, Jinzhou was the center of this region, a thriving walled town, to which the central government official was dispatched to rule this region.

• Three Kingdoms
  • A revolt in Liaodong Peninsula (239 A.D.)
• Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties
  • Emperor Li Shimin (Emperor Taizong of Tang) and his army campaigned against Goguryeu and captured the Bisa (Chinese: 卑沙, Beisha) fortification, on Dahei Mountain, Jinzhou (645).[4]
  • Government official was sent to a town which was renamed Jinzhou (1218)
• Ming Dynasty
• Qing Dynasty
  • Japan occupied Liaodong Peninsula including Jinzhou during the Sino-Japanese War and tried to lease it (1894), but returned it as the results of the Triple Intervention by France, Germany and Russia, with Russia swiftly coercing a lease soon afterwards.
  • Japan re-occupied Liaodong Peninsula during the Russo-Japanese War (1904) and leases it as Kwantung Leased Territory (1905)
• Republic of China
  • Japan's lease agreement was extended to 99 years, until 1999 (1915)
  • The Soviet forces advanced to Jinzhou and the Communist Party-led Jinzhou Prefectural Government was established (1945)
• People's Republic of China
  • Jinzhou became part of Lüda City (旅大市) (1950)
  • After becoming part of Liaonan Special Zone (1966), Jinzhou was returned to Lüda City (1969), which was later renamed as Dalian City (1981)

Recently, it is again a thriving District, having Dalian Development Area within it as well as becoming a bedroom community to downtown Dalian.
