Administrative divisions

Current Status

Currently, the subdistrict is divided into 7 residential communities.[2] The western 8.57 square kilometers of the subdistrict are rural, whereas the eastern 4.63 square kilometers of the subdistrict are urbanized.[2]

2006 Restructuring

In 2006, a number of villages which formerly belonged to Jiangwang were given to the neighboring Xinsheng Subdistrict.[1] In the same year a number of villages within Jiangwang were merged, specifically, the former village of Zhiyuan merged into Yulin Village, the former village of Linhe merged into Silian Village, and the former village of Tanghu merged into Yuelai Village.[1] This resulted in the subdistrict being divided into two neighborhood committees [zh] and four villages.[1] Those subsequent neighborhood committees were the Jiangwang Neighborhood Committee (蒋王居委会; Jiǎngwáng Jūwěihuì) and the Heyue Neighborhood Committee (和月居委会; Héyuè Jūwěihuì).[1] The subsequent villages were Yulin Village (余林村; Yúlín Cūn), Heqiao Village 何桥村; Héqiáo Cūn), Yuelai Village (悦来村; Yuèlái Cūn), and Silian Village 四联村; Sìlián Cūn).[1]
