Historical evolution of Xigang Township

In the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Suining Township, and in the Qing Dynasty, it belonged to the two capitals. In the late Republic of China, it was divided into Dehua Township and Jinzhu Township. Xianju County has jurisdiction over the township. In 1949, it became the jurisdiction of Jinyun. In 1956, Xigang Township was built. In 1958, it was changed to an administrative area. In 1961, a people's commune was built. In 1962, it was placed under the jurisdiction of Xianju County. In 1984, it was changed to Xigang Township. In 1992, it was withdrawn and expanded and merged with the original Chenling Township. After the merger, due to the construction of Xi'an Reservoir and immigration, after the administrative region adjustment in 2001, there are currently 17 administrative villages and 45 natural villages in the township, with a total number of 2,458 households.
