When were the historical towns founded?

There is presently only a single source for these towns that is not specific about when the towns were founded. I think we should be able to find a better source for this claim. Czarking0 (talk) 01:58, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Qing to CCP

Post Beiyang

There is no coverage of the history from the end of the Beiyang goverment until the late 1920s. I do not know the history for this city nor do I have a source but it is certainly notable how the city was governed and what happened in the city during that time.

Shum Chun

This article seems to indicate the Shumchun is more significant than the history gives it coverage for. I generally trust SCMP to be factual but this is a case where their anti-CCP bias may be at play.^[1] Railroad town certinaly to have a reputation for a reason so I am inclined to look into this further and find an additional source.
