Dazhangzhuang Town ( simplified Chinese: 大张庄镇; traditional Chinese: 大張莊鎮; pinyin: Dàzhāngzhuāng Zhèn) is a town situated inside of Beichen District, Tianjin, China. It shares a border with Meichang and Shangmatai Towns in its north, Xiditou Town in its east, Xiaodian Town in its south, as well as Shuangjie Town and Xiazhuzhuang Subdistrict in its west. It is home to 29,900 inhabitants in 2010. [1]
The town got its name Dazhangzhuang ( Chinese: 大张庄; lit. 'Great Zhang's Villa') from Dazhangzhuang village, the current administrative center of the town. The village can trace the origin of its name to its foundation during the Qing Dynasty, when the richest family in the settlement was the Zhang family. [2]
