History
In 1123, the Jin Dynasty set Guangning County (Chinese: 廣寧縣) in nowadays Beizhen. In Ming Dynasty, the town of Guangning became a base of the Ming troops in Liaotung and a prosperous border trading center. In 1913, the name was changed to Beizhen, which is an alternative name of the Yiwulü Mountain, literally meaning "the guarding mountain of the North".
In 1995, Beizhen County became Beining City (北寧市), the name of which is later changed to the current name.
In 1898, a missionary established the Beizhen Catholic Church, which is still in use and in 2014 was designated a provincial cultural relic of Liaoning.
