 | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2024) |
During the Second Sino-Japanese War, as part of the Third Front strategy, Chengxi developed into an industrial center. Many government offices and public services moved from Japanese occupied areas to Chengxi and the population increased from 5,000 to over 100,000. Japanese air raids caused hundreds of deaths and burned much of the old city.
On 15 July 1996 the county was hit hard by floods.
