It is located at the opposite side of the Yangtze River to Shanghai and is directly north of Chongming Island except for a small portion that forms Haimen District's Haiyong Town. Haimen is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Haimen. Haimen is located in the poorer north Jiangsu region and together with Qidong City, traditionally has one of the highest rates of liver cancer in China and in the world, with upwards of 1 out of every 10 adults in the rural areas dying from liver cancer.[1]
History
The area that is now Haimen was formed from silt deposits from the Yangtze River. Several sandbanks, including Dongzhou (Шаблон:Zh) and Buzhou (Шаблон:Zh), joined with the mainland in the Tang dynasty. In 958 CE, during the Later Zhou dynasty in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Haimen County was established with the county seat at Dongzhou Town.[2] At this time, Haimen and Jinghai District (Шаблон:Lang) were merged into the newly formed Tongzhou District (Шаблон:Lang).[3]
Because the mouth of the Yangtze River moved northward during the Ming dynasty, Haimen has dealt with flooding that destroyed parts of the county, including Lüsi (Шаблон:Zh), Yudong (Шаблон:Zh), and Sijia (Шаблон:Zh).[2]
In 1672, under the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty, the seat moved to Jinghai Township (Шаблон:Zh). Starting from 1701, the river's course moved south, creating more than 40 new sandbanks. In 1768, the county became an independent subprefecture with the seat moving to Maojia Town (Шаблон:Zh).[2]
In 1912, one year after the Republic of China was founded, Haimen once again became a county. However, in 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, Haimen became governed under Nantong Prefecture. Once county-level governments started to reappear in 1983, Haimen was reinstated as a county, and in June 1994, Haimen became a county-level city.[2]
In 2020, Haimen became a district of Nantong.[4]
