Shigezhuang Town (simplified Chinese: 石各庄镇; traditional Chinese: 石各莊鎮; pinyin: Shígèzhuāng Zhèn) is a town inside of Wuqing District, Tianjin, China. It shares border with Huanghuadian Town to its north, Chenzui Town to its east, Chagugang Town to its south, as well as Geyucheng and Matou Towns to its west. In 2010, Its population was 23,309.[1]
During the Ming dynasty, ten families from southern China migrated and settled in this region. As a result, the area came to be known as Shijiazhuang (Chinese: 十家庄; lit. 'Ten Families Villa'). It later evolved into Shigezhuang (Chinese: 石各庄; lit. 'Shi Family's Villa') in the Qing dynasty.[2]
Shigezhuang Town is situated at Tianjin's western boundary with Hebei, with Beijing–Shanghai Expressway and Beijing–Taipei Expressway passing through it. It reaches an average altitude of 12 meters above the sea level.[3]
