What was the name of Zhumadian in Ming Dynasty?

Zhumadian in Ming Dynasty was called Runan.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhumadian City now belonged to Runing House and Nanyang House, and later to Henan Road. After years of war at the end of Yuan Dynasty, the population of Runing area dropped sharply, and it was desolate everywhere. Ming Taizu ordered landless farmers in Taihu Lake Basin and Shaanxi Province to move to southern Henan. At that time, counties in Runing Prefecture received a large number of immigrants.

Zhumadian is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, which is located in the south-central part of Henan Province, bordering Luohe and Zhoukou in the north and Xinyang in the south, and is located in the hilly plain area in the upper reaches of Huaihe River. It is named after the envoys and officials who came to the north from the south in history to rest their horses here. Known as "the hinterland of Yuzhou, the best in the world." Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, Daguang Expressway and national highways 107 and 106 run through the north and south, Xinyang Expressway runs through the east and west, Wushang Expressway and traffic expressway pass through the border, and provincial and county highways crisscross.
