History

edit

In 1850, it was named Majiachuankou (Chinese: 马家船口, literally the wharf of Ma clan) when the wharf was owned by the Ma family.[3] It became a small town, so on December 15, 1912, the governor of Heilongjiang Province ordered that the city council meet at Majiachuankou (马家船口市政局) which belonged to Hulan County.[citation needed]

The next year, it changed its name to Songbei city council (松北市政局).[citation needed] In 1925, it changed its name to Songpu city council (松浦市政局), and became part of Harbin special city in 1933.[citation needed] It became Songpu District in 1938.[6]

In 1953, Songpu District had two townships, Songpu (Chinese: 松浦) and Xinxing (Chinese: 新兴), and two subdistricts, Tangchang (Chinese: 糖厂) and Chuankou (Chinese: 船口).[7][8] In 1958, Songpu District was momentarily merged into Binjiang District, but Binjiang District was cancelled.[9] Songpu township was then place in Daowai District. Songpu became a people's commune.[citation needed]

In 1979, Daowai restored all the subdistricts, and set more two subdistricts: Zhenjiang (Chinese: 振江) and Chuankou (Chinese: 船口). In 1983, Songpu again became a township. In 1985, Songpu became a town,[3] and Chuankou Subdistrict was merged into Songpu Town.[9][10]

In 2004, Songpu belonged to Songbei District. In November, the Harbin government approved Songpu as a subdistrict.[3][2]

In 2017, Chuankou Subdistrict [zh] became split off from Songpu.[citation needed] Chuankou took two residential communities, Chuankou (Chinese: 船口) and Guangxin Xincheng (Chinese: 广信新城), and three villages, Taiyangsheng (Chinese: 太阳升), Dongming (Chinese: 东明), and Dengta (Chinese: 灯塔) from Songpu.[citation needed]
