1992年9月26日，國務(wù)院決定撤銷上?？h和原閔行區(qū)，建立新的閔行區(qū)，以原上?？h和閔行區(qū)的行政區(qū)域?yàn)樾麻h行區(qū)的行政區(qū)域。

On September 26, 1992, China’s State Council decided to abolish the Shanghai County and the former Minhang District and replace them with a new Minhang District. The new district covers the administrative areas of the former county and the former district.

閔行區(qū)所轄地區(qū)歷史上屬上?？h。上?？h的歷史根據(jù)馬橋古文化遺址出土文物，可追溯到4000多年前。至元二十九年（1292年）設(shè)上?？h。明弘治年間始有敏行之稱，正德七年（1512年）始稱閔行。民國7年（1918年），上?？h屬江蘇省?？谷諔?zhàn)爭(zhēng)上海淪陷時(shí)期，上?？h地區(qū)隸屬于偽上海特別市。民國34年（1945年）抗戰(zhàn)勝利后，上?？h復(fù)原。

Historically, Minhang District was under the jurisdiction of Shanghai County. The history of Shanghai County can be traced back to more than 4,000 years ago after archaeologists unearthed cultural relics that belonged to the Maqiao Culture. Shanghai County became an administrative division in 1292 during the Yuan Dynasty. It was first called Minhang during the reign of Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty and was formally named Minhang in 1512. Shanghai County was placed under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province in 1918 and became part of the Shanghai Special City when Shanghai was under the Japanese rule during China’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. It was called Shanghai County again after the 1945 victory of the War against Japanese Aggression.

1949年5月15日，上?？h解放，先后屬蘇南區(qū)、江蘇省。

On May 15, 1949, Shanghai County was liberated and was placed under the jurisdiction of Sunan District first and later Jiangsu Province.

1958年1月，劃屬上海市。

In January 1958, Shanghai County was put under the jurisdiction of Shanghai Municipality.

1959年12月，以原上?？h閔行鎮(zhèn)和吳涇地區(qū)設(shè)立原閔行區(qū)。1964年6月，原閔行區(qū)撤銷并入徐匯區(qū)，并改為閔行、吳涇兩個(gè)街道。1981年2月，重新恢復(fù)原閔行區(qū)。

In December 1959, the former Minhang District was established to replace Minhang Town and Wujing Area of Shanghai County. In June 1964, the former Minhang District was abolished and incorporated into Xuhui District, becoming two sub-districts: Minhang and Wujing. In February 1981, the former Minhang District was restored.

1992年9月26日，國務(wù)院同時(shí)撤銷原閔行區(qū)、上?？h，合并成為新的閔行區(qū)。

On September 26, 1992, the former Minhang District merged with Shanghai County to become the new Minhang District.

馬橋古文化遺址，位于上海市閔行區(qū)馬橋俞塘村，座落在一道被稱為“竹岡”的貝沙堤之上，呈南北長，東西窄的寬帶形狀。“馬橋文化”是太湖地區(qū)一個(gè)典型的文化遺存，在中國考古史上占有十分重要的地位。

The site of Maqiao Culture is located at Yutang Village in Maqiao Town of Minhang. It lies on a belt-shaped shell mound called Zhugang. The belt is long, stretching from north to south, but narrow from east to west. Maqiao Culture is a typical cultural heritage of the region around the Taihu Lake, occupying a very important position in China’s archaeological studies.

距今5500年，馬橋遺址已經(jīng)形成陸地。從菘澤文化至良渚文化過渡時(shí)期，先民們就開始在這里繁衍生息。至夏商時(shí)期，成為環(huán)湖地區(qū)面積最大、最具有當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)生活面貌的典型村落，總面積超過150000平方米。春秋戰(zhàn)國至唐、宋、元時(shí)期，這里一直是先民們的定居地。1982年，馬橋遺址被考古界定名為“馬橋文化”。

The land at the site of Maqiao Culture was formed about 5,500 years ago, and began to see human activity during the transitional period from Songze Culture to Liangzhu Culture. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, the place became the largest village in the region around the Taihu Lake, with the most typical social life at the time. The village covered more than 150,000 square meters. During the period of Warring States to the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, the place became a settlement. In 1982, the archaeological community named the site of Maqiao as “Maqiao Culture.”

馬橋遺址于1959年發(fā)現(xiàn)，并在20世紀(jì)60年代和90年代進(jìn)行了數(shù)次挖掘，出土文物1000余件。馬橋遺址的發(fā)掘?yàn)檎摂嗌虾５臍v史提供了科學(xué)依據(jù)，為推斷上海的成陸提供了珍貴史實(shí)。

The site of Maqiao Culture was discovered in 1959. More than 1,000 cultural relics were unearthed from the site after several excavations in the 1960s and 1990s. The site serves as a scientific evidence of Shanghai’s history and its land forming time.
