The origin of joffrey street.

Huaihai Road was formerly known as Joffre Street in Fei Xia, a famous French general.

Huaihai Road was built from east to west. First build East Road, then Middle Road, and finally West Road. The construction of the three sections of roads is related to the French Concession.

Before the opening of Shanghai, the center of gravity of the city was in the county seat. Now Luwan District and its northern and western regions are all farmland, with criss-crossing streams and three villages scattered among them. From Lujiawan, Monocrystal Village (now the east section of Yongjia Road) and Gujiazhai (now Fuxing Park), we can still vaguely imagine the pastoral scenery of that year.

1843, according to the Sino-British treaty of nanking, Shanghai was opened as a trading port. 1844, when China and France signed the Huangpu Treaty, the French gained the privilege of living, trading and renting land to build houses in five trading countries, including Shanghai. 1845, Shanghai Daotai Gongmujiu and British Consul Pavel agreed on the Shanghai Land Charter, and the British Concession in Shanghai was established. 1849 On April 6th, Lingui, Shanghai Daotai, after consulting with the first French consul in Shanghai (Louis Charles Nicolas Maximilien Montigny, 1805- 1868), agreed to try to give in. There are pidgin in the south and Chujia Bridge in Guandi Temple in the west. This is the scope of the former French Concession, with an area of 986 mu. After that, the areas north and west of Shanghai County gradually urbanized, but by the end of19th century, Huaihai Road was still relatively cold.

After the establishment of the French Concession, it was expanded many times. 1898 French Concession occupied Siming office, which caused strong resistance from Ningbo people in Shanghai and led to a bloody case. When the lawsuit hit Beijing, the French ambassador to China, S.J.M.Pichon, negotiated with the Prime Minister's yamen and reached an agreement, one of which stipulated that the French concession authorities could build roads needed for traffic on the land of Siming CCBA. Siming office is located outside the small north gate, at the eastern end of Huaihai East Road, and west of Yongshou Road (now the former site of Dajing Middle School). It is a temporary place for Ningbo people in Shanghai to find coffins. 1900 65438+1October 27th, the western boundary of the French Concession was pushed to Gujiazhai and Guandi Miaobang, which is now the first line of Chongqing South Road. On June 30, 65438, Shanghai Lianyuan reached an agreement with Dong, general manager of the French Concession Industry Bureau, to solve the Siming office incident, stating that the French Concession could build Ningbo Road according to the original route. Ningbo Road is now Huaihai East Road. Later, the French Concession built Xijiang Road and Changbao Road westward along Ningbo Road. Their intersection is in Chongqing Road, Xijiang Road in the east and Changbao Road in the west. 19061June 10, Xijiang Road and Changbao Road are collectively called Changbao Road, which is now Huaihai Middle Road. The French Concession has the habit of naming people as road names. Chang Bao is an important figure in the public board of directors of French Concession. From 188 1 to 1907, he was re-elected as the director of 15, in which he served as the director for 5 times.

In the early years of the Republic of China, France once again sought to expand its concession. 19 14, Yuan Shikai's regime made a deal on the condition that the French side allowed detective China to arrest criminals (actually revolutionaries) freely in the French Concession, which met the requirements of the French side to expand its territory. On April 8th this year, Yang Sheng, the negotiator, and gaston Khan, the French Consul General in Shanghai, signed an agreement on the division of police forces on roads outside the French Concession in Shanghai. At this point, Huaihai Middle Road, west of Chongqing Road and east of Huashan Road, was included in the management scope of French Concession, and the urbanization speed was greatly accelerated. 1965438+On June 2, 20051day, Changbao Road was renamed Joffrey Avenue, named after the famous French Fei Xia. 1943101October 8th, renamed Taishan Road. 1June, 945, in memory of the former chairman of the National Government, Lin Sen (1867 ~ 1943), it was renamed Linsen Road. With Tibet Road as the boundary, it is called Linsen East Road and Linsen Middle Road respectively. May 25th 1950 was renamed Huaihai Road to commemorate the victory of Huaihai Campaign. The eastern section of Tibet Road is called Huaihai East Road, and the western section of Huashan Road is called Huaihai Middle Road.

Huaihai West Road starts from Huashan Road in the east and ends at Kaixuan Road in the west. Built in 1925. It was built by the French Public Security Bureau, formerly known as Jordan Road. It was named after the British Minister to China. 1933 was renamed Lushan Road, 1945 was renamed Linsen West Road, and 1950 was renamed Huaihai West Road.

When Huaihai Road was first built (Xijiang Road and Changbao Road), it was paved with mud and stones, and later stones were paved piece by piece. Since 1902, Platanus acerifolia introduced from France has been planted as a street tree, and Shanghainese used to call it "Platanus acerifolia". 1908, No.2 tram starts running. This tram has been in operation for 60 years until 1968. In the 1920s, Huaihai Road was converted into asphalt pavement. 1926, 1927, trolleybuses and buses were opened in 1930s, and the cement pavement was rebuilt. Since 1950s, it has been built repeatedly to improve the pavement and increase the drainage function. 1960 drives 26 trolleybuses (now the predecessor of 126). 1992 due to subway construction, all underground pipelines were resurfaced and cement concrete pavement was laid.
