Qinggang is located in the northwest of the Chumen Peninsula. It is bordered to the north by Chengnan Town, Wenling City, to the southeast by Shamen Town, to the south by Chumen Town, and to the west by Leqing Bay. It covers an area of 53.6 square kilometers, with a cultivated area of 1780 mu, and belongs to the mountainous area. The old name of Qinggang Town's sea port was "Gugang" (古港). It was renamed Qinggang (清港) during the Yuan Dynasty and has remnants of Qinggang Ferry. In the 14th year of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty (1381), Qinggang (清港里) was established. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Qinggang Village (清港村) was established. In 1934, it was changed to Qinggang Township (清港乡). In 1936, it was changed to Qinggang Town (清港镇). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the name Qinggang Town was maintained. In March 1991, Qinggang District (清港区) was established. However, it was abolished in May 1992, and villages such as Shangjiao, Xiajiao, Houpai, and Yuanjia were incorporated into Qinggang Town.^[2]
