History

The ancient name of Pengzhen was Yongfengchang (Chinese: 永丰场). It was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It was destroyed by Bingxian (Chinese: 兵燹) in the early Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in the 28th year of Qianlong (1763). Because a branch of the Danleng Peng Duanshu (Chinese: 丹棱彭端淑) family migrated here, it was named Pengjiachang (Chinese: 彭家场; lit. 'Peng family place').

After the Communist Party of China came to power in 1949, Pengjia Town of the Third District (Chinese: 彭家镇属第三区) was established. In 1953, Pengjia Town (Chinese: 彭家镇) was divided into Pengzhen and Pengzhen Township (Chinese: 彭镇乡). In 1958, Pengzhen’s organizational structure was dissolved, and Pengzhen Township, Ca'er Township (Chinese: 擦耳乡), Hongshi Township (Chinese: 红石乡) and Ganzi Township (Chinese: 柑梓乡) were merged to form the Dongfeng People’s Commune (Chinese: 东风人民公社).

Pengzhen Township was re-established in 1983. The name reverted to Pengzhen in 1984. In 1992, Pengzhen and Ganzi Township merged, and the merged township is still named Pengzhen. In December 2019, the town of Jinqiao (金桥镇) was dissolved and its administrative area was placed under the jurisdiction of Pengzhen.[4]
