History
Chishui Township (Chinese: 池水乡), which would be merged into Henan Subdistrict in 2005, was established as a district in 1949, but would change to a township in 1956, to a people's commune in 1958, and then again to a township in 1983.[4]
Henan Subdistrict was created from the town of Jiaohe (Chinese: 蛟河镇) in 1989.[4]
In 2005, Henan Subdistrict transferred Tuanjie Village (Chinese: 团结村) and Xinli Village (Chinese: 新立村) to neighboring Hebei Subdistrict as part of its promotion from a township to a subdistrict.[3] During this process, portions of Henan Subdistrict which were not initially portions of these two villages were merged into them, as part of the transfer.[3] Furthermore, Henan Subdistrict transferred Xiaobajiazi Village (Chinese: 小八家子村) to neighboring Chang'an Subdistrict [zh].[3] In return, seven villages from neighboring Naizishan Subdistrict [zh], including Anle Village (Chinese: 安乐村) and Xinli Village (Chinese: 新立村, not to be confused with the one transferred to Hebei Subdistrict), were incorporated into Henan Subdistrict.[3] Henan Subdistrict also gained all as eight villages from the now-defunct Chishui Township, which was now merged into Henan Subidstrict.[3][4] These transfers resulted in Henan Subdistrict administering 26 villages, comprising an area of 315.4 square kilometres (121.8 sq mi), and hosting a population of 31,171.[3]
