In the center of the city, a cross street was formed, with the length of the North-South street of 2.75 km and the east-west street of 2.65 km. After the founding of the Republic of China, the government was changed into a county in 1913, which became Hulan County. After the fall of Northeast China, it was named Hulan street in June 1939. After the victory of the "93" Anti Japanese war in 1945, Chengguan District became the first district in 1949. In August 1955, the first district was changed into Hulan town.
