History
Xinyu has a history of more than 1,700 years. It became a county in 267 during the Three Kingdoms period. In Jin dynasty, it became a major city in Southern China with a population of over 50,000. In the Tang dynasty, it was part of Yuanzhou (known as Yichun today). In 742, the city's name 'Xīnyú (新渝)' was mistaken for 'Xīnyù (新喻)'. The government of PRC changed the city's name as 'Xīnyú (新余)' in 1957.[citation needed]
