Since the Tang Dynasty, Huimin County has successively been the seat of dizhou, Le'an prefecture, Wuding prefecture and Wuding Prefecture, known as the first capital of Lubei.
In 1944, the anti-Japanese democratic government set up the Bohai Administrative Region, which became the three major administrative regions of Shandong, together with the Jiaodong Administrative Region and the Luzhongnan Administrative Region. The Bohai Administrative Region Office is located in Huimin County, and has jurisdiction over four special districts of Kenli, Qinghe, Luobei and Cangnan, with a total of 40 counties.
In 1950, the Bohai Administrative Region was abolished and a special district was established to set up a special district for the former Bohai Administrative Region in Huimin County. It administers 12 counties, including Huimin County, Yangxin County, Wudi County, Zhanhua County, Bin County, Putai County, Boxing County, Lijin County, Kenli County, Guangrao County, Gaoqing County and Qidong County.
Huimin County is located in the westernmost part of Huimin Special District, 120 kilometers away from Guangrao in the east, the traffic connection is inconvenient, the prefectural party committee and the administrative office are considering relocating, and they have taken a fancy to the north town of Bin County. Beizhen was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty and was ruled by Luowo County. Sui changed Luowo County to Putai County. In the Jin Dynasty, a new county seat was built in the south of Putai Town, and Putai Town was changed to Pubei Town, referred to as BeiZhen for short, which has always been a water and land transportation and trading center in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in Lubei Region.
Beizhen is located in the center of the whole region, the north bank of the Xu ferry port of the Yellow River, and it is also a traffic artery connecting East China, North China and Northeast China, and is also the largest distribution center for regional grain, cotton, oil and other materials, which is an ideal urban construction area.
In 1952, a new urban area was built 1.5 kilometers northwest of the old city of Beizhen, which was called New North Town by the people, and the original North Town was called Old North Town. New Taipei Town was planned as a chessboard street, with Bohai Road in the north-south direction and Yellow River Road in the east-west direction, and soon built the office buildings of the prefectural committee, the special office, the military sub-district, the public security office, and the supply and marketing cooperative. In October 1952, the prefectural party committee and the special office were relocated from Huimin County to Beizhen. After that, other directly subordinate units of the Special Office moved to the new urban area one after another.
In 1958, Huimin Special District was merged into Zibo Special District, and the special office office was moved to Zhangdian; Bin County was merged into Huimin County, and Huimin County Was moved to Bei Town.
In 1961, the Huimin Special District was restored, and the special office was once again stationed in Beizhen. At the same time, Bin County was restored and separated from Huimin County, and the Huimin County organ was moved from Beizhen back to the original Huimin County.
In 1967, Huimin Special District was renamed Huimin District, and had jurisdiction over 12 counties of Binxian County, Kenli, Guangrao, Huantai, Zouping, Yangxin, Zhanhua, Lijin, Boxing, Gaoqing, Huimin and Wudi.
In 1982, the two communes of North Town and Boxing County were established as the jurisdictional areas, and the county-level Binzhou City was established. In 1983, Dongying City was established from Huimin District.
In 1992, Huimin District was renamed Binzhou District. At this point, Huimin has become an ordinary county.
