Hua CountyorHuaxian (simplified Chinese: 滑县; traditional Chinese: 滑縣; pinyin: Huá Xiàn) is a county under the administration of Anyang City, in the north of Henan province, China.
Its predecessor administrative area Huazhou/Hua prefecture was first established in 596 during the Sui dynasty. In 606 it was named Yanzhou (兖州), and soon after as Dong commandery. In 618 it was combined with present Changyuan and Yanjin as Huazhou again. In 1372 it was demoted to a county.[2] The name 'Hua' means 'slip', given because the city had many slipways.[3]
Hua County is located in the southmost part of Anyang. To its north lies Neihuang County, also in Anyang; to its east Puyang CountyinPuyang; to its south the counties of Changyuan and Fengqiu, both in Xinxiang; to its west Xinxiang's Yanjin County and Hebi's Xun County.
The county executive, legislature, and Basic People's Court are in Daokou, together with the CPC and PSB branches.[4] Prior to 1949 the administrative center of Hua County was in Chengguan.[2] Its current administrative subdivisions are:[5]
