History

The predecessor of today's Xianrenzhuang subdistrict was incorporated as Xincheng Township in 1949, and reorganized as Zhongxin Township in 1955. In 1958, with the Great Leap Forward, the township became incorporated into Shandian People's commune. In 1980 the separate Xianrenzhuang People's Commune was created, which became a township, within the then-existing Kaifeng County, in 1984. With the reorganization of Kaifeng County in 2005, the township became part of Kaifengh City's Gulou District.
