History
The predecessor of today's Xianrenzhuang subdistrict was incorporated as Xincheng Township (新城乡) in 1949, and reorganized as Zhongxin Township (中心乡, literally, "Central Township") in 1955. In 1958, with the Great Leap Forward, the township became incorporated into Shandian ("Lightning") People's commune (闪电公社，Shǎndiàn Gōngshè). In 1980 the separate Xianrenzhuang People's Commune was created, which became a township, within the then-existing Kaifeng County, in 1984. With the reorganization of Kaifeng County in 2005, the township became part of Kaifengh City's Gulou District.
