History[edit]
During the Qing Dynasty, a relay station named Lafa Relay Station (simplified Chinese: 拉法驿站; traditional Chinese: 拉法驛站) moved to the area, and was colloquially known as "Xinzhan" (lit. new station).[4]
Part of the Lafa-Xinzhan battle was fought at Xinzhan during the Chinese Civil War.[6][dead link] From June 8 through June 10, 1946, Kuomintang (KMT) forces fought Chinese Communist Party forces in Xinzhan during the conclusion of the battle.[6][dead link] The battle ended in Xinzhan, and resulted in the defeat of KMT forces.[6][dead link]
The area was organized as a bao (Chinese: 保) in 1933, and was re-organized as a street (Chinese: 街; pinyin: Jiē) in 1938, and as a town in 1954.[4] Xinzhan was re-organized as a people's commune in 1958, and was reverted to a town in 1985.[4] Longfeng Township (simplified Chinese: 龙凤乡; traditional Chinese: 龍鳳鄉) was merged into Xinzhan in 2001.[4]
At 2018, two of the town's residential communities, Xinyi (Chinese: 新驿) and Xinyue (Chinese: 新跃) were merged as one, called Xinyu (Chinese: 新毓).[3]
