-Historical evolution.
About 4,500 years ago, in the late Neolithic period, indigenous peoples flourished and created human civilization. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties (2 1 century to 1 1 century), indigenous peoples formed tribal alliances one after another and became part of the Nanyue nationality, whose predecessor was the Li nationality. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, the territory belonged to Nanhai County, Xiang Jun County and Guilin County, and some Nanyue ethnic groups gradually merged into the Han nationality. Maoming County was founded in the Sui Dynasty, and Xi Ying, the leader of the local people, devoted himself to promoting the integration of the local people and the Han people. By the Tang Dynasty, most of the Li nationality had merged with the Han nationality, and the rest had merged with other nationalities, saying that the Yao, Zhuang and Li nationalities had disappeared. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736 ~ 1795), all the indigenous minorities in China were integrated into the Han nationality and the household registration of local residents. The residents of China are all descendants of the Han nationality from the Central Plains or the integration of Han nationality and indigenous minorities. 1959 On March 22nd, the State Council decided to establish Maoming City. 1983 governs Xinyi, Gaozhou, Dianbai and Huazhou counties. 1985, Maonan District of Maoming City was established. 200 1, Maogang District of Maoming City was established.
-Economic profile.
Maoming's economy has developed rapidly. From 65438 to 0994, Maoming entered the ranks of 55 cities with GDP exceeding 20 billion yuan. Maoming's "petrochemical" industry, which is led by oil refining and ethylene production, occupies an important position in the country; High-yield, high-quality and efficient agriculture led by famous fruits and vegetables is well known. Rich "mineral resources" is a major feature of Maoming, and 57 kinds of minerals have been identified, among which "Nanyu", kaolin and other development and processing industries based on mineral resources have distinct advantages and characteristics.
-Administrative divisions.
Maoming was founded in 1959, and 1983 implemented the system of city governing county. Now it administers Maonan District, Maogang District and Dianbai County, and also manages Gaozhou City, Xinyi City and Huazhou City.
Maoming Petrochemical Industrial Zone in Guangdong Province is located in the beautiful coastal city of Maoming City, Guangdong Province, with a planned area of 43.9 1km2. Maoming, known as "Southern Oil City", is an important petrochemical base in China. It has 6.5438+0.35 million tons/year refinery, 6.5438+0 million tons/year ethylene plant and more than 400 various chemical enterprises, producing naphtha, gasoline, diesel oil, triphenyl, triene and other petrochemical raw materials and various products, equipped with mature and reliable technical service system and human resources, and has a profound petrochemical industry foundation. The industrial zone is located in the economically developed South China, with its back to the southwest and facing Southeast Asia, with a broad market space. Maoming is rich in land resources and the price of industrial land is very competitive. The surplus industrial air, nitrogen, oxygen and sewage treatment capacity of ethylene plant can basically meet the needs of the initial construction projects in the industrial zone. Transportation, electric power, communication and water conservancy facilities fully meet the requirements of developing large-scale petrochemical industry. According to the strategic thinking of unified planning, step-by-step implementation, key breakthroughs and rolling development, and the development concept of integration of construction projects, public facilities, logistics and transportation, environmental protection and management services, Maoming Petrochemical Industrial Zone in Guangdong Province was completed within/kloc-0 ~15 years, marked by 30 million tons of oil refining and 2 million tons of ethylene. With 6.5438+100,000 tons/year aromatic hydrocarbon as the leading factor and various petrochemical products as the backbone, fine chemicals, high technology and deep processing coexist to build a first-class domestic and world-famous petrochemical industrial zone. Through our joint efforts, Maoming Petrochemical Industrial Zone in Guangdong Province will surely become the first choice for petrochemical industry investment.
Guangdong Provincial People's Government and China Petrochemical Group Company attach great importance to it. Guangdong listed Maoming as an important petrochemical industrial base. The provincial government approved the establishment of Maoming Petrochemical Industrial Zone in Guangdong Province on June 5438+ 10, 2003, and decided to give strong support in policy and financial resources. China Petrochemical Group Company decided to take a 30% stake, support the product arrangement and public works of Maoming Ethylene Plant, and jointly make Maoming Petrochemical bigger and stronger.
