Binjiang was founded on December 1, 1934 and was dissolved in August 1945.[1] Binjiang had a mix of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Russian people.[2] Binjiang was created when the old Jilin Province was split into the Binjiang Province and Jiandao Province, and Jilin Province. In 1937 Binjiang Province was split into the Binjiang Province and Mudanjiang Province.
